Where is the humanity?



This is part 2 of a very beautiful movie series that I think translates to "where is the humanity?" It was nice that they included what happened on Sept. 11th as well as the events in Iraq and Palestine. I'm just glad that the concept of Arab unity isn't completely dead if various artists can come together to produce this. This is one of the big reasons why I want to go to the Middle East, to try to find where the humanity is in all of it. Unlike a lot of the hippies around here, I'm willing to work for the U.S. gov't if it gets me to the Middle East for awhile. Although some would say these actions contribute to the very things I'm working against, I don't buy into this mentality of "lets talk shit about the U.S. gov't and don't actually do anything to solve this." The only way this would actually help is if you moved out of the U.S. (which I don't see many of these people do which is odd because they talk about how the U.S. is such an evil country) and stop paying taxes (what do they think is aiding the gov't the most?). I really hate how U.S. foreign policy has been under both democrats and republicans (essentially the same really) and I know that there is no one electable who can really solve these problems with their current rhetoric. That's why it is important for me to go there any way I can and try to actively work against what the American and Israeli gov't is doing any way I can.
