If you are American, you should care because your tax dollars are finding that suffering.

Suffering is suffering and is wrong no matter who's causing it or who is being targeted. In not saying we should or even can end the suffering around the world but at the very least we shouldn't be causing it.

In that case I still don't care about the kids. I care that my money was effectively stolen.

I feel for them, but there's nothing that can be done about it from the outside.

inaction can also lead to suffering. sometimes more for your own people (which are the ones that should matter most).

it would make more sense to help the syrians in syria.

the middle east is a muslim quagmire. it always has been, and it always will be. it has always had slavery and abuse, and no sea of western tears will wash that away.

the west has found the best strategy: line them up against eachother and rake in the profits off the weapon sales. at least they occupy themselves that way, and their barbarism is sated.

i don't mind ignoring syria though, i'm not attached to the people. just more muslim dogs.
