The children of Syria and the hot mess there:

2. Unfortunately, the actions of my government and the MSM over the past 50 years

have caused me to believe only a small percentage of what I see, and nothing of what I hear, when an issue or event is related to politics.

When the the majority of the world becomes a "farm" for wealthy private interests to pick and choose what they wish to slaughter and harvest for their profit, and various wars and conflicts (and elections) are repeatedly based on conquest for power and/or profit, all motivations for action by governments naturally become highly suspect.

It's a crying shame, but until we take the profit motivation out of war, politics, and government, it will be this way.
