War is never good, it is ugly in all forms. Human being only lives a few decades, at most 80 or 90 afterwards you are gone so i believe all these wars and misery is a shame for the human intelligence.
We need to change ourselves, and we should start from ourselves. Iran Iraq war, Persian gulf conflicts , Syrian conflict, Yemen conflict, Somali conflict etc are all because of people who refuse to accept the reality and the changing world.
I dnt wish ill on Syrian people (ignore those posts), they are all humans just like the other 7 bilion people on the planet. The conflict that is going on has nothing to do with us people who are outside it and we just express our opinion that we think its correct (and who says its correct ?...).
We need to change mate and i propose a long lasting friendship (or ceasefire lol) among us members... atleast on this website. Let us start from somewhere...
Well, large-scaled wars today are almost always a bad thing for everyone expect the military industry and those who profit from it. Especially in our age and time were wars can be extremely devastating due to the technology at our disposal.
Actually most of the conflicts have nothing to do with race or religion. It is mostly bound in politics and socio-economic aspects. The so-called "Arab Spring" did not start because of sectarianism or some ethnic struggle in Tunisia were it firstly emerged but due to the economy and politics. Those two go hand in hand. Later it spread to other Arab countries.
The ME as a whole is the cradle of civilization. Extremely rich in history and extremely wealthy in terms of resources with an ideal location next to Europe, Africa and the remaining Asia and major seas such as the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Gulf, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, Caspian Sea etc. Many people are talented, hard-working, welcoming and have good sides on many fronts. Unfortunately people are very emotional, tribal (tribalism in the sense of racial, sectarian, political etc. rivalry) In a sense we are all tribal in that way. Let alone the bad leadership and some people who are obviously hell bent on getting their version of the world across and destroying all the other rivals.
In the ME there is nothing like a win-win situation. It's either winner takes it all or nothing. I think that this is the key problem.
Actually most of the Arab-Iranian (actually it's more a Arab-Persian thing) fights involve the same 5-6 users every single time. It's not that bad. Could be worse.
I think that we should mind our own business and if we can work together like many Arabs and Iranians have shown in the past and for centuries (despite religious etc. differences) then we should do that. After all we can't really move to Oceania or South Africa tomorrow.
Well, I don't wish ill on any people either. I am just of the firm belief that Al-Assad has caused a lot of destruction in Syria. I am not saying that the Syrian Opposition is faultless because they are not. It's a war after all. I am not including ISIS here which obviously no sane person can support.
Basically it's just a shame that a nice, ancient and beautiful Arab country such as Syria is now resembling Afghanistan and Somalia. I made this thread to show the destruction of heritage sites in Syria. Not to start a political debate.
