¿Por qué no funciona el mundo?

[Dorogoi]

Atencion al minuto 7

Todos sabemos que hay que mejorar y que un mundo mejor es posible.

Creo que es un filmado tendencioso y melodramàtico. Demagogìa y sensiblerìa barata. Estamos particularmente sensibilizados por Sadam, Bush o Bin Laden porque lo tenemos presente en la mente por ser contemporáneos; pero no fue ni remotamente lo peor que pudo haber sucedido. Y con Obama menos aun.

En realidad, las atrocidades del ser humano fueron y son infinitas y en todos los tiempos. Si observamos en wiki sobre el tema tortura o armas, encontramos una lista inmensa en todo periodo histórico.

Pretender que lo sucedido en Irak o en Afganistan es lo màs atroz y que estamos empeorando es ingenuo. Siempre la barbarie puso sus garras, pero en esto momentos hasta vivimos las guerras en directa TV. Si hacemos un anàlisis comparativo estamos mejor que nunca.

Cada vez menos guerras y debemos insistir en que debe haber menos violencia y conflictos. Pero no podemos decir que estamos mal o peor que antes.

Si vemos las listas siguientes quedarà claro que estamos en tiempos pacíficos y poco crueles.
