Should we kill them all?

Should we kill them all?


More than 5 million people have died since 1998 in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) due to the conflicts involving civilians, armies and "rebels". The war has been happening mainly because different groups want to possess lands with precious minerals (as gold, silver, uranium, and specially coltan, a metallic ore used in many cellphones and laptop computers).

During these years, many industries have provided weapons to all the parties directly involved in the war and are buying the minerals exploited during the war. None of them have been criminalized. Neither the UN has established punishment to countries and companies or the the US (the worldkeeper, right) has established "war" against the industries in their own country that perform these actions.

Aren't they terrorists as well?
Do we have the legitimacy to find them and kill them all? After all, they've been killing much more people. Or is it just because Congo doesn't have enough resources to create a "global campaign" against the terrorists who are supporting the war in the country?

Well, it is definitely the time to reconsider the paradigms, to stop believing in everything and to put an end to this global theater that has been created in the past few years in order to hide the real massacres.
