Wouldn't it be nice if Allah or God, perhaps Jesus the prophet or son of God depending on your beliefs, were to show up and put an end to these hostilities. I mean, this is where all the true believers live, the most faithful. It's understandable that the godless heathens of the West would be abandoned, but these people, the most devout? How bad does it have to get? How horrific the depravity of war must we see? How much suffering before this Saviour relieves us of our inhumane treatment of each other. One might be allowed to believe, or at least consider, we're on our own and all this killing in the name of a God that doesn't show up even in the most desperate of times is just silly? Simply the musings of an old man believing we can do better, we must do better, and it seems unlikely some divine intervention is on the horizon. It's on us, all of it, the good and the bad. There are no clean hands.
