Trouble is I do care. I care about the women and children raped and murdered en mass daily in the darkest parts of Africa, I care that extremism in all its forms can threaten my children no matter how many borders I put up to stop it, I care that there is such inequality and poverty in the world that people kill with impunity and more than anything I care that the 'civilised world' stands by and does little.
We could pull back and let the world fight it out, but that only works until they develop weapons we don't want them to have that could threaten our safety. We must get involved in eradicating poverty and violence against innocents, no matter how a specific region affects (or doesn't) our way of living.
That we (as a global community) are toothless and unwilling to address the issues that are painful and difficult because of a blinkered 'not my war' attitude is an absolute crime and the blood of those that continue to be butchered is on all of our hands as a result.
There are those that will say it is too risky to get involved, but we cannot wait for these states to get more powerful with the proliferation of improved weaponry. It must be sorted out now. We all know it won't be because of the vast majority of politicians with hands over their eyes unwilling to commit their nations to any kind of conflict, but all we are doing is leaving this for our children and grandchildren to sort out.
Rant over.
