COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN
'We're here to stay':
the Guardian invites Dreamers to guest-edit our US edition
The Trump
administration has put the future of young, undocumented immigrants at risk.
Meet our guest editors and hear what they have to say
Well, this is all very nice, and of course Trump has done
something stupid here.
But we do have a number of other far more terrible
situations in the world, many of which are also the result of acts by the
American government, generally with full support of Britain's government.
I don't see a trace of the same treatment by The Guardian.
These Dreamers are an easy, not controversial, sympathetic
case.
But what about the more controversial and far more terrible
cases in the world in which either the American or British government is
responsible?
The terrible bombing of and starvation of Yemen, for which
Britain's good armaments customer, Saudi Arabia, is responsible, a customer
supported also, and heavily, by America?
The 3 million refugees temporarily housed in Turkey, their
situation being totally the responsibility of America's brutal wars in Syria
and Libya, supported by Britain?
The unrelenting horror in Gaza, a giant concentration camp
in all but name?
