Political Unrest and Folly of Armed rebellion.

Political Unrest and Folly of Armed rebellion.

Syria, Egypt, Afganistan, Ukraine. Just some of the Nations where killing and "power games" are leading to chaos for the ordinary families, women and children who are the ones really suffering.

Men are the cause of this stupid situation, why don't government leaders get involved and stop it.

Well, eternal governments are involved. But once the violence takes hold tempers are raised and "getting back at the government" leads to calls to overthrow it and it will use all the resources at its disposal to "put down" the rebellion. And the consequences are clear for all to see.

So is this type of rebellion worth while?

If it leads to hundred of thousands of deaths (Syria) or just a few, there are no winners. Building a better society for our fellow citizens has failed if just one dies.  A child looses a father, a mother a son or husband. What a mess. Creating grief.
