After a week full of assault (edited)

What is there to say?
This is the world you created.
This is the seeds you have sown.
And this is the harvest you get.
Say - are you fucking happy with it?!
Are you happy that any grand nation
can attack another nation,
without being subject to punishment?
Are you happy with crying over people
that you didn't know they existed
until yesterday?
Is this your understanding of
humanism?
Selectable like your joys -
and after a few weeks gone
you have forgotten about everything.
This is your standard.
Scapegoats and heroes
and "Iiiii have nothing to do with that".

I think we all have to do with it. The humanity collectively makes history not some individuals. Well, like I said people are protesting against it I saw bunch even the right-wing in the US are protesting, I think life needs to get tougher for everyone, then people will rebel harder. And it looks like economic crisis is deepening otherwise they would be attacking. By the way, saw a lot of info about some missile company or something made instant billions dollar profit. That is the reason for all assaults- profit.

The whole process how the war in Syria went along previously is just a silent symbol for the state that America and perhaps even the whole Western world is in. Iraq they still could do with full force, with a normal style of leading war with soldiers and everything. Libya already was the sign of decrease as they begged all other NATO members to join the action, like it already became to expensive for them alone. And guess who paid all the "rebels" (one knows what nature they really had today...)... The bank America always begs for money to finance their wars ever since the 80s and their Afghanistan engagement.
But, obviously the war in Libya still must have been done on the base of something that was more healthier than now.
I don't how Libya worked as a functioning state, but one sees and hears it as Libya under Gaddafi was like the vacuum cleaner for all soldiers of fortune of Africa which seeked worked and a reasonable income. So it couldn't have been THAT run down to allow a short campaign that meets no resistance.
Why it could become this way must lie within Libya's structure itself, or that some people really maybe were uncontent meanwhile with the regime of the Gaddafi family, independently of the campaign that was started on the outside.
Those factors seem to be different now with Syria. This must be like you attack a fully running and financially liquid state.
Aside from that, but that's something I've only heard somewhere, the support for Islamic political movements seems to be rather limited there. After Egypt, "someone" tried to make the Muslim Brotherhood climb up the ladder of political influence in all kids of Arabic countries where they also exist, but in Syria this allegedly failed. The public support level was too low.
Only heard that somewhere, long time ago, I don't know if it's true, but it could give a hint towards the factors being different in this case.

In the end, those powers wanting the war and not only joining it for making a quick buck, those must have assumed it would be a little like the campaign in Libya. But it horribly failed - and so it comes that for years there's been money and material invested into it, although the price for this must already exceed any kind of real profit one could make with the war directly and with the profits that were in the sac after it when it would be won.
But as it is the case when you're a force inciting something like this, you can't just take a step back from your campaign and say "okay, it was a failure, let's do something different". It would mean losing face, and also: what would happen to all the material and people having been pumped into it? Sure nobody would want those people back which now had knowledge in how to fight. And sure nobody wanted them either to return on their own behalf.
That's the trap all of the sponsors are now caught up in and where their only possibility out of it with undamaged skin will be to still win this thing.

I got the impression like my post went a little to fast.
Today there would have been a Champions' League soccer game between Borrussia Dortmund and the AS Monaco.
3 booby-traps exploded as the bus with the kickers wanted to drive to the stadium. The bus got damaged, one of the players needed to be taken to the hospital (allegedly not with deep wounds, only light ones).
Must have happened in the late evening, as the game was supposed to start at half past eight and it wasn't that much of time before as the news appeared on the screen.

...I get the impression like all people bit by bit slowly go nuts out there.
If I'm permitted to say it that frankly.

Looks like people go nuts everywhere, to be honest.

Yeah...
