The World's Next Genocide?

News of hate crimes in Syria leave many countries wondering in Syria could be the location of the next genocide. With the two opposing groups of people, the situation in Syria similarly parallels the rival tribal groups involved in the Rwandan Genocide. CST teaches us as an international community that we must step in. CST teaches principles of courage and compassion. We must fight for justice and protect each other from harm. After witness the great tragedy of the Rwandan genocide, we cannot take this situation lightly. I think CST is not often consulted for international decision making, but some principles should be. Often other countries may be too hesitant to step in in dire situations, such as a genocide. I think it would be difficult to practice principles of CST in International decision making. Every country is watching out for its people and each country worries for its own safety. I understand the necessity for protection in our own country, but I always think we should try to practice the principles of CST and protect the countries around us. We need them to survive.
