While Japan is shaken the disarray and destruction, with everyone watching, Gaddafi should celebrate: today no one thinks of the slaughter he is making to keep their insane government in place. Economic and human energy will turn to the Japanese, leaving - again, the Libyans into oblivion ...
He was all mad to require unnecessarily (again) that the international community to intervene in Libya when Japan was hit by the savage earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The human and material consequences are not yet quantifiable but will undoubtedly be enormous. And it's funny to happen soon after the first anniversary of the earthquake in Chile, which also was massive and left entire villages in mud. I recently heard of the tragedy in New Zealand, which also caused death and destruction. In Chile there is still strong earthquakes frequently, and now we see this azotón virulent in the Pacific plate. It is not necessary to be an expert to realize that the earth is shaken.
this earthquake has impressive result by the number of images that exist. The de Chile a year ago was in the morning, limiting the ability to capture clear images of the tsunami, but now we have seen how water travels over the earth, dragging everything in its path, including houses burned. For a long time
hear the human stories of loss, pain and courage of people facing this challenge that nature have been thrown. The images continue going out and showing the magnitude of the tragedy.
While Japan is shaken the disarray and destruction, with everyone watching, Gaddafi should celebrate: today no one thinks of the slaughter he is making to keep their insane government in place. Economic and human energy will turn to the Japanese, leaving - again, the Libyans into oblivion. "Ultimately, it is only Africans" seem to think the international community. Africa, as usual, is a land where life is fragile and worth little.
Not only that, this day-March -11 is the day that commemorates another anniversary of the terrorist attack in Madrid on March 11 that left 192 dead and millions injured and out inside.
What we have today? A world in which the blood does not stop running. A world that comes from our abuse showing, again, their power over us. A world in which, as in a good zombie movie, the humans are worse. Because no matter how dull and destroy nature, we have always killed more.
This happens today and I think of the fragility. The fragility of our lives, so sensitive to the tragedy. Thousands in Japan today mourn their loss and their dead, but it's so just another terrible event in the life of our sustained and at the same time, formidable kind.
In Libya, the tyrant will have more space to act as the international community debate on the delicate terrain of "nonintervention" and genocide active. All work together to help Japan to rise, while Libya is falling apart.
In this sad day, the rightwing president of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, serving his first year in office. Embraced by notorious Pinochet in his cabinet, Piñera saw his celebration was overwhelmed by the tragedy and decided to Japanese what I usually do: build your own reality.
Thus, Chile's president spent the day playing the earthquake had been at home, locked up in the emergency agency. He looked serious, committed, concerned. The only problem was that nothing was happening.
Everything is ultimately part of the same weakness that makes us human. The fragility to nature, the fragility that makes us harm each other, because revenge is a sign of weakness, as did Al Qaeda in Spain: a weakness that becomes crazy.
The fragility of the European and American foreign policy in Africa, enabling these dementia and protected states, leaving millions in the helplessness to oppression.
Our weakness is no escape, but does have an advantage: empathy. Therein lies the solution. We are all fragile. Whatever we do, we are made of fragile skin and flesh weak. Admit it connects us, and who does not support "the most frightened of all, are those who do harm.
earth's crust and climate are enemies too powerful for us to continue thinking that killing will solve anything. But we are too fragile to admit.
