Sunnis want to live separately from Shiites. Let it be.
Russians want to live separately from Ukrainians. Let it be.
Desert tribes in Lybia want to be each on its own . Let it be.
Afghans want something else. Let it be.
Why the commitment to some borders that are not eternal and God given by any means? If those borders were so dear to us than why did we disrupt them in the first place by toppling the dictators who were taking such good care of them.
Why did we break Yugoslavia forcefully into 6 separate countries along ethnical and religious borders and why breaking Ukraine or Iraq is so dreadful and unthinkable. The U.S. has spent $1,560 Billion (and going ) on wars since 2001. Take this money and put it in developing new energy sources and nutrients and we won’t need the oil of Iraq or the wheat of Ukraine. Put the money into fixing the old and developing new infrastructure here in the U.S. Put it in education. Develop new materials and energy sources. Explore the space. Take care of the environment and the climate change. Improve our quality of life. Show all those separatists that unification is good. Show them that a plumber in the U.S. lives better than a tribal king in Sahara and they will follow the road to unification, democracy and prosperity. Lead by example not by force. If we don’t mess with their lives and don’t tell them how to live and where to set the borders than maybe they will not hate us so much and won’t be such a threat to us. If we care so much about freedom why don’t we give these folks the freedom to choose where and how to live.
Let it be !
