| The Arab Spring |
One can forget, whilst ensconsed in the comfort of a compound in the relative safety of KSA (because despite its issues Saudi is, at the moment, probably the safest country in the Middle East) that a few short hours away all hell is breaking loose and they've dubbed the uprisings 'The Arab Spring'.
Some graphic imagery from Syria was posted on a friends Facebook Wall. I watched it. Then debated with myself whether or not to click the share button.
I didn't. Perhaps I should have.
Those visions were disturbing. But then wars, battles and revolutions are not pretty. I was told not to believe everything coming out of Syria in the media, that there are forces at work to make the uprising there look worse than it is - but the image on You Tube of a boy with half a face is one that is hard to forget.
There is all sorts of politics and agendas around the The Arab Spring that you can read about on Google. I just want to know why it is, that for beings of supposedly high intelligence, we humans can be such unkind animals toward each other?
Ka Kite,
