World powers' double standard
A few powerful countries of the world can pulverize huge buildings of other countries into dust just within minutes! No, not empty buildings, buildings full of little children, women and men. They can even destroy a whole country. It matters little to them, as the sophisticated bombs, to produce which they have spent billions of dollars, can annihilate anything. Buildings, gardens, crops, orchards, trees, flowers, fruits, animals, birds, roads, bridges and most of all, human beings. But if one of these people were their own, all hell would let loose to take revenge. So much of double standard.
And the world watches quietly. Strange that everybody is so afraid to speak out against such wrongs. Don't they fathom that this will only help the wrongs to multiply. Why the UN was created after the World War II if no country would listen to it or pay any heed to its orders? If this continues, even a third world war can start.
Please stop this! Because with great power comes great responsibilities.
