I hate doing it, but Im going a little political today. The news trickling out of Syria about tactics and atrocities smacks more and more of another Bosnia / Herzegovina.. Im never for any singular nation proclaiming itself as world police and inserting its personal interests into a conflict; but on a world stage, organizations of civilized countries need to stand together to protect basic human rights. Even with all its issues; something akin to the UNPROFOR is needed, and needed now - At least to assure aid and supplies are reaching the people stuck in the middle. When war ceases to be a conflict between factions, and spills into mindless killing of civilians, women, children, the elderly, and those doing nothing more than trying to survive amidst conflict - THATS when the international community needs to break out the kick-ass stick. We - humanity, as a species, are BETTER than this. /Rant
