Bastards
Actually I would like start that title with a word begining with F but for the children reading I will refrain. I can't begin to tell you the outrage I feel about what is going on here, about what goes on in any war, but which for today is happening here. As the news reports that the ceasefire has been agreed, at least 20 large bombs dropped all in quick succession in the southern suburbs, the most bombs in quick sucession I have ever heard or felt within the space of about 60 seconds. How many people did that kill? how many children? A couple of days ago I met a young boy just 13 years old who's brother was killed in the bomb on a residential area about 5 days ago. I felt that bomb. He did too. He is completely ripped to shreds, to see him was so shocking, but he was the survivor. His brother was not. A 10 week old baby was not. 1000 other people are not. I am fine, but every time you feel and hear these bombs people are being killed in the most horrific way. The world should be outraged at this. Never believe the bullshit of the people who are complicit in this.

Hey megs,
Great post.
What can we do?
It can feel so ineffectual over here.
I guess we do what we can do in our own big, small and unique ways.
One part of a package of things that are easy to do is to get active on the computer...
My friend who's been working in Liberia up until recently sent me this link - to sign a world-wide petition for (real) ceasefire: http://www.ceasefirecampaign.org/
it looks kinda good...
and maybe it might not make a big difference, but it'll make more of a difference than most of the other stuff that i'll do with my life today.
If there's anything else you can think of that we can do megs (other than not believing the bastards’ bullshit, which i guarantee you, i don't anyway), letus know...
In the meantime, please take care.
xoalison.
Stay safe Megan.
