We are all tired of war, so why don't we just stop it?

I'm a news freak and everybody knows it: News first, breakfast next. What's happening to Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Palenstine, etc.

It's a commitment. It's also heartbreaking, frustrating — and it's unreal.

The morning I wrote this column for instance, I heard that there have been over a million casualties in the Ukraine-Russian debacle. So, who's winning? Who knows?

Then I heard that the hostages are still underground in Gaza. For what purpose are they now being denied freedom and life after so many in Gaza are dead or have been displaced?

Then I heard that unless Pennsylvania wins the electoral vote — one no human being ever really votes for — voters will find the whole system in question.

All those statements are within possibility; all of them introduce new and difficult circumstances to people beyond themselves.

Worse, in one way or another, all of them are out of control.

Every morning, Donald Trump, the man who has been playing shadow president for four years now, repeats the same old rant and lies and comedy act that is being called politics in this country these days, and no one stops it.

Every day, Amnesty International reminds 130 countries of their commitment to the 2013 "Arms Trade Treaty" of the United Nations, which also enables defense programs to be able to refuse military weapons to countries at war. And no one stops this, either.
