I know so little about these things, and I get very frustrated. <br /><br />Unfortunately, they have the power and money to be able to send others to war and to not put themselves to danger.Eirenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350820845130506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192227531617038362.post-39050623626890874362014-07-29T15:39:15.262+01:002014-07-29T15:39:15.262+01:00It played OK this time, Eirene, thanks.

We would then very quickly have peace!Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192227531617038362.post-88229688551537615312014-07-29T11:41:09.650+01:002014-07-29T11:41:09.650+01:00I agree, Olga, and as you say, the poor are always...I agree, Olga, and as you say, the poor are always expendable. What is horrendous about what is going on in Gaza is that it's a population of civilians, and a large number of children, who are being bombarded and murdered by a nation that has very sophisticated weapons of war. I find it unbearable. <br /><br />I just tried the video in my post and it did play. It might be worth trying again. I don't know what else I could do as my knowledge of these things is very limited. It's a very powerful video and it would be a shame if you could not get it to play.

It merely becomes more sophisticated either in the use of technology, or in the deployment of rhetoric - or both. The pinnacle of acquisition usually turns out to be power through wealth rather than understanding through knowledge. The poor it seems are always expendable, and the powerful have restricted sight - whichever side one considers.<br />(By the way, the video did not play when I tried it.)Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.com
