We are all one?Surely you jest? We should sacrifice our own young lives to prevent an unpreventable genocide. Ask the Ruskies to do it? After all, but for their untimely intervention this internal civil war would have been fought and won by those the regime sought to suppress or enslave. Doing what you suggest now harder than herding cats given Russian and Chinese vetos inside the U.N. Moreover, any escalation on our part would likely further involve both Iran and Turkey as Rusian allies now taking the side of mass murdering Assard. And simply increase the death toll and for which all and sundry would blame us. The rebels need to lay down their arms, sue for a negotiated peace and live to fight another day when a convenient sniper's bullet will end the massacre? Alan B.

By the way the world was a hairs breadth away from world war three during this crisis.

These references are about the very important theme of the intrinsic oneness, or prior unity of humankind

These grandiose schemes for the Western World to put themselves into the middle of these wars.requires putting our young soldiers, someone's son or daughter into life and death situations. Is the author of this article willing to put himself or his children
in the middle of a battlezone to achieve his virtuous ideas.

No, its easy moral sounding, save the world from the safety of an armchair, rhetoric
People who talk like this arent actually prepared to go out and do it.
Well what if people in Western countries dont want to take sides in these foreign wars.
Some of these conflicts are the result of historic genocides.
The muslim Empire killed millions of Europeans in the middle eastern nd European
counries, maybe that is why the Serbians were hostile to the build up of muslim
Bosnians in Serbia. Its easy to take sides from a couple of horrific news photos
on TV, but People in Western countries are pretty ignorant of the History of overseas countries. Thats because the leftist hippie universities, go on and on about
Germany and world war 2 while glossing over or barely mentioning the bloody histories
and genocides committed by most countrys in the world at some point in their histories.
We make an enemy of the side we dont side with when we interfere, and this results in attacks by those enemies on the twin Towers on 9/11.

Typical reasoning from an absolutist thinker who can only perceive situations as being entirely black or entirely right, with his own view being the font of all virtue. Notice the moralising, self righteous tone of Barry's article? Stereotypical absolutist. Such people are unable to comprehend their own contradictions, a phenomenon psychologists call "cognitive dissonance."

Barry claims that "we are all one". But his personal description says that he is a Marxist who rejects "pseudo leftism." Even within leftists there are divisions but Barry can't beyond his ideological blinkers.

Barry wants the civilised world (read the western world) to send soldiers to the world's war zones to prevent "genocide". Gee Barry, that is so potty that I don't know where to start. The USA sent soldiers to Somalia to prevent the mass starvation of Somalis by their own bickering tribal warlords, and the starving Somalis turned on the very people trying to save them.

In Yugoslavia, the Croats were ethnically cleansing the Muslims and Serbs, the Muslims were ethnically cleansing the Croats and Serbs, and the Serbs were ethnically cleansing the Muslims and Croats. Who's side do we choose, Barry? Maybe the lesson to be learned here is that multiculturalism never works. It always leads to social division and civil war. And civil wars. Barry, a really bad wars with lots of ethnic cleansing. But as a Marxist you believe in this stupid ideology which just like Marxism, failed over, and over, and over again.

Next Barry thinks that the civilised (western) world that Barry and his Marxist comrades prefer to live in, but despise, should invade Syria and end the Assad regime. Since when did you Marxists embrace Imperialism, Barry? And replace Assad with what? The Muslim Brotherhood? ISIS? HAMAS? Oh, yair. Another bunch of really nice social democrats.

And Barry, the "Syrian refugees" have no intention of ever "going home." Why should they when every Muslim country in the world is a sheethole because it is Muslim? Incredible, you Marxists are happy to turn all of Europe Muslim because you think "we are all one."

Cuckoo. Cuckoo.

Thank you, LEGO. You have nailed it.
