How can one fight a political war? No rules should apply in wars. Get the politicians out and settle the conflict instead of prolonging it. We owe it to the citizens that are being harassed. How can this be happening while we in America debate over Gay marriage? God bless America!

This horrifies me. Why isn't more being done to help these people survive? It would be one thing if we were ignorant of the situation, but we know exactly what is going on. Let's get some help to these people!
