The Worst Killer
International - 31/12/2004
Who is the worst killer of them all? Osama Bin Laden? Saddam Hussein? Adolf Hitler? Is it war itself? No! It’s Mother Nature!!
Dare I say it... The thousands killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks pales into insignificance compared to the Asian tsunami disaster.
The USA has been criticized for the amount of aid it’s offered to the tsunami appeal – equivalent to what it would spend in just a few hours on the war in Iraq. It kind of makes you wonder. If there weren’t any evil dictators or terrorists – and everyone in the world just got along rather than harbouring bitterness towards each other – there wouldn’t be a need for war. The money could be spent on helping people who are worse off in the world – especially during times of disaster.
It’s times like this when you realise just how fragile the human race is – and just how pointless it is to bicker and argue. I think it’s time we started valuing human life more – to put aside our differences – and for the human race to get along as one.
