"Are they sub-human or inferior to myself in some way, that they require pity from others to survive? I have more faith in humanity than that. People have control of their own lives, or should." we are talking people living in the desert with nothing around them except sand for hundreds of miles, starving and dying. these people cannot help themselves. they don't have control of their own lives. they will die without outside aid. men, women and children will die from that idea today. they will die a slow, agonising death that can take weeks. only one set of people can end that. and we continue to refuse to.

it's no better than the warsaw ghetto.
