Change of heart?

While watching the news last night, conflicts in Libya, revolt in Syria, Bahrain and Yemen, carrie Commented, “why aren’t [the Canadian Forces] going there to fight? We should be helping those people.” I challenged her on it saying, “it’s not our fight. We can’t go messing in other countries’ affairs like we are a world social worker.” She defended her position, “yes we are, we are privileged enough to have a stable gov’t and the resources to be able to help other people that are enslaved and oppressed by their governments. We absolutely have an obligation to go and fight for other’s freedom.”

I feel hopeful.
