The same reason we do not crack down on our own citizens killing each other (or innocents) in the streets? The same reason we're slow to act when children are gunned down in school shootings? I wish I had a solution. I don't. Whether I call my congressional leader to say support or don't support Syria, nothing is going to change. Humanity has to change. Aside from being friendly, peaceful to whomever I may encounter, I kind of feel like everything else is really out of my control. So, as I said to someone I recently encountered who did not speak English well (and considering my Spanish is poor), "A smile says a lot."
