Like rabbitproof said, same stuff is happening elsewhere, but we don't do anything... I thought I read somewhere that Saudi Arabia sent troops into Bahrain and shot protesters there. And years ago, we sat twiddling our thumbs while Darfur burned. We are not consistent, either in trying to save people or in letting people save themselves. I don't even think we are consistent in supporting our allies, like Israel, anymore. The only consistency appears to be the quest for more black gold.

Now my personal thoughts are that we should be helping wherever people are in need, but that's just me. I also think if we tapped into our own natural resources, our foreign policy wouldn't be so dependent on securing foreign oil. But that's also just me. Weird that hugging trees are maybe keeping us from hugging more people.
