It's not "sadly" that we live in this world. It is gross anger inducing injustice that we remain mute and thus complicit in this horror that we perpetrate. And we are subjecting human beings to this all over the world.

We. Americans. All over the world are creating day in and day out suffering to hundreds of millions of our fellow human beings.
