The World's Next Genocide?

In our world today, the themes of Catholic Social Teaching are extremely prevalent. A primary theme is  seeking justice for those who are unjustly persecuted. I think that as explained in the article, the Syrians are heading down a path of self-destruction. The motto “Christians to Beirut, Alawites to their graves!” is promoting violence, and the exact opposite of justice. As the Sunni extremist fight for a "cleansing" of the country, they are causing their country turmoil and violence. Catholic Social Teaching is not only a guide for the United States, but also for foreign countries. America is not perfect, however, we have made it a priority to never experience the horrors of genocides such as the Holocaust and the Rwanda Genocide in our country. It is very realistic to think that CST can guide us in our decisions as individuals and a nation. If individuals priorities justice and respect, then the nation will be guided and led by strong leaders who are dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. Hopefully if our nation can maintain peace and stability, Syria can use us as an example.
