Human rights abuses punish everyone.


Sometimes fighting is the only option, after you have tried everything else.  

Syria is being torn to pieces.  Why is nobody speaking up about that with the force and frequency that everything that President Trump says or does is criticized all day, every day?

People are STARVING and FREEZING and BEING TORTURED TO DEATH.  A dictator, with allies who are also dictators, is terrorizing the citizens of his country so that he can be powerful.  

When do you put aside your differences to stop catastrophic suffering? 

Also, if your life were in danger, and only a military operation could save you, I don't think you'd be giving speeches about the background of the people saving you; you'd be saying "Thank you."

I don't dispute that poor people shoulder more burdens than rich people do all over the world.
