Enough is Enough

I watched "Lord of War" last night. The movie starring Nicholas Cage where he is an arms dealer with a knack for trafficing illegal arms to impoverished nations. The story at the end states it is based upon actual events which means something happened similar to what the movie portrays but of course was edited to meet movie standards of entertainment.
None the less I lay awake last night thinking about all the impoverished nations in Africa and the arms dealers who traffic their merchandise to them all for the sake of profit. The natural progression of thought then went to Darfur and the families who are caught in a war between government and rebel forces. The forces kidnap children to fight in their war. One of the statements made in the movie by an evil dictator rang true. He said (paraphrase) that a bullet shot by a 10 year old child can still kill as well as a bullet shot by a 40 year old man. What kind of human would put a gun in the hands of a child and then tell him to go kill with it? Well, the word that I kept hearing in my mind was ENOUGH! Enough of the UN and it's "Super Powers" countries who refuse to do anything substantial to end the conflicts in places where their leaders act like spoiled children and get away with it. ENOUGH talk of sending in a "Peace Keeping force" to stop the carnage. ENOUGH talk, political posturing, diplomatic stagnation, and back room dealings that do not do anything. It's time the countries of the world who are supposed to be leading by example to say ENOUGH. Let's go kick some gun toting, genocidal, immature, power hungry, evil dictator ass! What are we afraid of? If Britain, France, America, Spain, Australia, and any other freedom loving nation decided to send in a battalion or two of well armed, well supplied and well supported military personnel with instructions to stop the armed conflict, protect the unarmed, and destroy any threatening force it meets, do you think the genocide would last for more than 1 month? Where is the morality? Where is the backbone to stand up for what is right? Do you think this initiative would be condemned by other nations except for the ones that are committing this evil? For once I'd like to see the countries that are supposed to be leaders in this world stand up and do what is morally right, not politically prudent. The UN is a worthless entity. It is merely a forum for countries to play tug-a-war with no results. It a money laundering business disguised as a political assembly of nations. How could it gain credibility again? Organize and deploy a multinational force to stop the killing. What do we have to lose? I don't know, but I do know we have an opportunity to save. Save the men, women and children of a country that doesn't care for it's own.
