There are many wars going on at planet earth in the times of writing this. There are still many nations with dictatorships, some with religious ones or where one faction oppresses another one. Sometimes we support hard-line governments with foreign aid, take Ethiopia a country harassing our journalists and taking a militaristic stance against it's own minorities calling it fight against terror and at the same time unable to cope with famine on own territories. Sometimes we intervene with the intent to remove the ruling faction like in Iraq or displacing what we would call a radical religious movement to fight terror and to give women rights, here Afghanistan and the Taliban's.
What about endurance? If we wanted to change things there's no exit, no quick fix, we would stay there counting with the forever perspective. But that is not how we are and possibly because government is a short-term commitment in a democratic society, no more than 6 years in a few nations. Imagine if we could transplant doctors, teachers, any category of science and arts to the numbers we send in soldiers.
Our nations and governments irrespective of color seem to get stuck when they realize that being honest mean loosing exports, loosing deals and being blackmailed, bribed or threatened by the 1% rich and their industry. This is the real problem when it comes to transforming our planet into a truly global place.
Back to Syria, to it's wars and it's population trying to get out of harms way by migrating away from it all. What is global about the Syria crisis? Does the nations of Europe have anything to do with this? Are we to blame, are we responsible for what is happening when it was the USA led Afghanistan and Iraq interventions causing this Middle Eastern destabilization and crisis? Whatever your political views are, you either did not say NO enough loud when you could or for you participating and supporting the venture to intervene you did not persevere or endure to contain and prevent this from happening. And whoever you are or coming from what is going on just now is to become one of the biggest humanitarian catastrophes ever through history. Winter and cold weathers are to come down over the ones, millions on the road to a safe haven, Don't forget that there are newborns, toddlers and young ones among them fleeing.
It is not anymore a question of finding accommodations for the ones managing to reach our borders or doorsteps, we have to drop what we have at hand, putting in measures to pick the crowds up at the places where they are leaving Syria, saving them from dying on the sea between Turkey and Greece, saving those that crossed over from Turkey to die on the road from the winter colds on the road from Greece and up to friendly nations in Europe.
I am suggesting that governments in Europe rent ferries that today goes in pleasure, entertainment, pleasure and tax-free routes, those giant ferries with on-board space for thousands like the ones that goes over the Baltic to Finland, Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and other destinations, goes to Turkey to pick refugees up bringing them from there into safety. And let the world know that we are coming for them.
Please, listen to me, it will cost us all over here in the war-free zones, Europe, Canada, Latin-America, China, Japan and others but we will be rewarded saving numerous life's. Let us be human and let creativity loose to save life's. We could do the same with refugees at the Libyan shores too. Let this be the most humane and most remembered rescue mission of all times.
