“Explosions in Damascus Kill Dozens”
More than 47 people were killed
after twin car bombings took place in Syria, an area filled mainly with
Christians. Witnesses also report that rebels shot another government aircraft
for the second consecutive day in a row. In addition to these two most recent
bombings, there has been four reported bombings in the exact same area since
August 28 of this year. Being that the persons residing in this residential
area are targeted repeatedly because they are Christians and Druze, a branch of
faith that comes from the primary concepts, beliefs, and ideas from Shiite
Islam and consists of minorities. The immense ball of fire ripped through the
town of Jaramana, and the explosions were so destructive that it resulted in
walls falling down, causing them to collapse on cars, crushing cars into tiny,
unidentifiable objects, and then scattering the debris over the ground. The
attacker blew up his own car after he used a different bomb to blow up another
car.
This crime reported incident
further proves how global issues exist in our society today. Anytime criminals
feel comfortable and bold enough to proceed with committing yet another
dangerous criminal act multiple times a week, in this instance, it occurred two
days consecutively back to back, simply shows how the justice system in many
regions need to be severely altered to deter the number of increasing crimes. These
law breakers have no fear for the consequences they could receive; therefore,
they are more than willing to stoop so low as to blow up their personal
possessions to inflict danger and harm upon others. Because terrorists have the
ongoing mindset that they are going to get revenge on their opponents, the
cycles of war, famine and death will never cease or decrease because these
self-interested people could care less about anyone else and their sufferings.
In fact, these terrorists base their life around making others struggle and
feel inferior simply so they can feel that are in control. In my humble
opinion, when a nation gets to the conclusion that they are the top notch and
that everything and everyone is beneath them, everyone will began to see an
immense falling away from the typical human morals. The world we live in today
would be further plagued with evilness and would not contain any good.
Unfortuneately, as a global society, I think that it is safe for me to say that
for the most part, numerous nations are already at this point. What happens
when someone who has tried many times to bring peace foe their country
continues to be attacked? What happens when nations that believe in democracy
and the right of the people began to feel that they should control their
citizens to gain power? What shall happen to the human race as we know it when
on that tragic day, no one will ever again try to make peace for the wellbeing
of society but give up on mankind? To be honest, I don’t want to think about
that horrific day; however, if we continue to go in the direction we are headed
in, Earth shall see nothing else other than destruction and immense heartache.
