Or are some of them simply continuing the Syrian proxy war by other means, including covert and non-covert means?  What, for example, is the role of the United States of America, in continuing to have its proxy military groups, supported by its military, occupying Syrian soil?  What is the role of Turkey, in having its soldiers and Turkish backed Syrian militia  occupying Syrian territory and towns.  As a bulwark against Syrian and Turkish Kurds using Syrian as a base from which to attack Turkey? Is it really the case that these countries do not have any real interest Syria's, in Iraq's, in Yemen's, and in Libya's stability and security?  That they were never really concerned about the demands of some Syrians, Iraqis - definitely the Iraqis - the Yemenis and Libyan's demands and struggle for 'democracy and political diversity.'  But that all along, their main concern was to weaken, destroy these countries and remove them f

The process of giving birth is oftentimes an extremely painful and violent one.  With the main mitigation being the knowledge that the new entity emanating from the mother's womb, brings with them the promise of much joy and the continuation of the human species.  But, in the case of  birthing of Britain's Brexitification, what is the foretold  mitigation for prolonged pain being inflicted? Donald John Trump, the President of the United States of America, espouses.  The government of Hungary, under the stewardship of their unapologitically Nationalistic Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, embraces it with both his feet, his arms, his heart and his head.  He sees nationalism, he speaks nationalism, he hears it, tastes it and feels it, as if he is Hungarian Nationalism personifies. They are all doing it. Nationalism, it seems, has become the new 'populism', and, it seems, unashamedly so.  The new government of Brazil, under Bonosaro, is embracing

Of how people who are and were only skilled in the evil of destruction, like the mindless creatures they are, set about destroying what they are incapable of building?  Jihadists who are incapable of loving anything, including their god.  Who are devoid of anything which could vaguely identify them as belonging to the same human species to which those of us.   The majority of us, who are capable of loving, of building things of beauty, of showing compassion and humanity, belong to. And now, now that the Russian Federation, under its current enigmatic leader, President Vladimir Putin.  Has intervened into the Syrian proxy war, and helped the Syrian government and people to turn the tide of war and bring the country back onto the verge of  peace.  What roles are the involved nations performing? Are they loudly declaring and demonstrating their eagerness to participate in completing the peace-making process and contributing towards the rebuilding of Syria?  An

So, what is the nature relationship between God, or the gods, and us humans?  Some will never be tired of saying God or the gods love us humans.  That they have forgiven us our sins - if, indeed, we have any - and have become our redeemers.  They will speak volumes and do so constantly, about the grace of God and his endless love and compassion for us humans.  Of how he cares for us so much that he sent his only begotten Son to come and be tortured and put to death, for us.  Even though this reputed event did not occur until many thousands of years after us humans had evolved into what is now known as 'modern humans', or homo sapiens.  And even though, like Islam after it, Christianity and its doctrinal guide, The Bible, have tended to dismiss or marginalise, invalidate all other account of and for the existence of humans.  Irrespective of how illogical, and even infantilistic the proposition might appear to be to the enquiring mind. Other people, i

But in the past, were willing to do the 'upfront', the 'face-to-face' killing and torturing.  With the much vaunted  'free nations of the world.'  Such as the United States of America, Britain, France and their Nato allies, and Saudi Arabia and her allies, providing them with all the military gear and weaponry they needed to keep Syria in a state of Hell. Yes, it might well be the case that we humans are becoming inured to the shock of war and killing and destruction.  As it is almost becoming the 'norm', in some parts of the world, and commands us to adjust to and accommodate it as such.  So, it is necessary for us, at times, to be reminded, to remind ourselves of the what was then the 'unspeakable brutality'of the war in Syria.   The war in Iraq, the war in Libya, the war in Yemen, the war in the so-called Democratic Republic of Congo, the war in Liberia, the war in South Sudan, the war in Somalia, and the wars in .......

A people who are still living in great and in some cases, terminal shock, as a result of the years of nightmare which they have been forced to endure.  A nightmare, an hades-like existence which was prolonged by many nations and foreign alliances contributing and/or arming jihadistic men, both young and old.  To come and join the hellish cauldron that Syria had become, and in which the people of Syria had been thrown.  Some thinking that it was the honourable thing to do, to achieve their 'freedom and their political rights' though probably being unaware of the cost they and their country would have had to pay for it.  Which would have also negate the 'freedom and political rights' for which they had fought what would have been, for them, at best, a pyrrhic victory of sorts.  Others knowing it to have been the right thing to do, to fight for their country and nation to retain its independence and sovereignty.  And not to fall prey to those who d

Do we now lump all of their complex lives, along with them, into one container and label it "bad" and throw it into the figurative or literal river?   Or do we apply a sense of balance to how we, society, the law, deals with what is a complex issue? What if 'bad people' are not as bad or are always as 'bad' as they appear to or have been? What if 'bad people' do good deeds, would that commute or cancel or compensate for some or all of their 'bad deeds', or does it depends?  Depends on the amount and quality of good, compare to the amount of 'bad', that person has done? Or is it the case that 'good', however much, can never balance the 'bad' we do, however pale it is, in comparison? And what of the 'good' and the 'bad' deeds of nations?  Is there any balancing to be done when we  consider the enslavement of people of African origin and the colonisation of the African Continent and the
