Living my life to me is easy compared to what other people have to endure on a daily basis. I can’t imagine having to stay locked in my house because of a fear of my own government. The officers who are supposed to protect me, would beat me and steal from me.
How can we, as Americans, sit back and casually watch other countries implode? Why do we always help the ones who don’t really want to be helped. There are times when we should step back and look at what we are doing. We are trying to help Iraq. I understand that they are humans too. I have a cousin that was serving over there. His hummer was blown up by a miliacea. He has brain damage now. They aren’t sure what will happen with him.
Why are we helping a country that doesn’t want the help? They are acting out against the US. While in Venezuela, they are acting out against their wanna be dictator. They gave this man power, he gave himself more, and they don’t appreciate what he is doing to them. Why are we telling the Venezuelan people that they can’t come here for safety? Why are the requirements so strict for them? If I were in that same situation, I’d want a safe place to be. To know that I can be accepted and not ridiculed for my beliefs and have the freedom that I deserve.
Where have our priorities gone? Why are we helping people who don’t want the help instead of helping another fight against what they KNOW to be wrong. We are sitting here in comfort while other people have to fight against their own government, protect themselves from their own police who are being ordered by a dictator. We are watching this once peaceful country turn into chaos because we are more worried about the oil in Iraq rather than the plight of a country to be free from dictatorship.
We have the power, as Americans, to prevent another dictator from slowly killing his country. His dictatorship is just beginning, he’s not in full power yet. We should help those people and fight with them. Fight to keep their freedom rather than watch as they are over taken by this “man”.
America fought for their freedom with no help. Now we are in a position to help other countries do the same thing yet we try and fix what doesn’t want to be fixed rather than lend a hand where it’s actually wanted. This is outrageous to me. I can’t understand why we aren’t doing more!
