But behind each name there is the face of a child with a family history in a village in a far away country, with a mom and a dad, with brothers and sisters and friends.
Among the list, are infants of 1, 2, 3 and 4 years old.

We're people people.
So sad…if I knew what more I could do in addition to protests, writing our senators, governors, house representatives, writing the UN and UNEsCO, reblogging, writing the White House and spreading the word through cyber space I would. We need to reclaim our world as a people of peace. It is not the many who cause these atrocities, nor the many that are innocent children of perhaps very guilty parents who commit acts of terrorism, which is very real and has the potential to kill many more innocent children, but rather it is the few. Why can’t we “the many” get this under control? Oh how my heart grieves for humanity, yet my hope in humanity will never cease.
I wish I had some sort of answer as to why ‘we the many’ don’t realize that the power to change things really is within our grasp. Something is sticking in my head that people who are heavily in debt feel as if they have too much to lose if they stand up and things go awry. If you have a mortgage, 2.5 kids, 2 vehicles and a few grand in credit card debt you feel the need to keep your job above all else. The weight of *Life* hold people in paralysis as they are less prone to go out and get arrested at a protest on Saturday or Sunday if it could cause them legal problems, loss of job,etc. on Monday. Those who already don’t feel as if they have anything to lose are the ones who take more physical actions. It makes sense, I think. People aren’t evil or bad, they’re just too scared to move.
I still hold out naive hope that enough people will wake up and realize that the things they cling to and sacrifice everything for- including the lives and futures of strangers – just to feel *safe & secure* are all false things. The very things they do anything to keep are the very things that keep us all chained to atrocities. We can’t change the world until we change more perceptions of what really has value and what does not…
