Watching CNN for the past six or seven years has always been so traumatic.
I really think that if America had a non-interventionist foreign policy, the impact on the United States by such horrendous conflicts abroad would be minimized. We as individual could disagree among each other about those conflicts, or choose not to care about them at all. As it is, even their political processes become interlinked with politics abroad, and when American treasure and diplomacy are seen behind other nations' acts of belligerence, the United States becomes a target for resentment and even terrorism. This makes it all the more important to see foreign wars with a bit of nuance and an effort at balance, but it is not always easy. It might not always be possible to be objective. All the more reason Americans should return to their Founding Fathers' policy of peace, honest friendship and free trade with all nations; entangling alliances with none.
The Israeli blockade of Gaza is an egregious violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions, such terrorism is a crime. Muslim lives are devalued. What a shame, knowing that we are all humans. Although I know that peace in Palestine is so far off but with elect-president Barack Obama coming into office this January 20th, I really hope there will be a slight change somewhere.
Let's just hope for the best.
