Thoughts on the Congo

For one thing, I can't believe these horrible actions are occuring. Second, I can't believe I've never heard about it before. I admit I am not the most up to date on current events, but I don't think I should be having to search to hear about something to this scale. It's horrible and so sad. I find the quote on the page very true. It's so horrible that you want to shut it out, but this is exactly what will allow the war to continue. I think action needs to be taken. I don't know exactly what should be done, but this can't keep happening! These are atrocities that we can't allow to continue. It's so depressing to think I live in a world where we won't step in to stop horrible atrocities because we have no political or economical gain from it. We have a duty to do something about this! It's absolutely horrible. It's easy to turn away, but that's not going to change anything. These people don't have the chance to just turn away so why should we? I have no idea how this can be fixed, but it needs to happen. For one thing, a stable government needs to be established. Without solid structure, these atrocities will keep happening.
