The Next Genocide

In the nation of Syria, there is expected that a possible genocide could occur. The Alawites are the possible victims of this. This nation is extremely vulnerable right now and need help to guidance in avoiding this ever happening. Learning from our mistakes in the past, international leaders and the US need to come together in order to prepare for the possible genocide. We need to step in for this group who are helpless during this time. As Catholics, we are called to care for the helpless and protect them from possible harm. We need to prevent the ruler of Syria, Mr. Assad to not inflict death upon his own people. It is important that a country has a ruler that has good morals and respects the people of his own country. This country needs to be ruled well in order for no outbreaks of riots to erupt and rebels start a possible genocide. The CST theme should help us in making the right decisions in order to make everyone in that country feel safe and secure. I believe the CST theme will be a crucial part in making decisions in respect to other nations. It is important we share our message of how we run our country and point other nations in the right direction. Our CST theme can influence our decision making as a nation and individuals. Even without the CST teachings, human nature makes us feel sympathy towards others and we should feel that it is a right for us to help the people of Syria to prevent this genocide. Although the CST principals should be a major component in our decision-making, we need to making logical decisions in helping out this nation. We need to ensure the safety of their people and the safety of our soldiers sacrificing their lives to protect these people in need. We need to make sure that we prevent a future genocide because we should have learned from the Holocaust and the Rwanda Genocide. We should not make this mistake again in not getting involved earlier.
