Fifteen years of the childhood of Bambi and of many of the readers of her blog, literally around the world, have been hijacked by those shamelessly and stupidly indulging in the senseless violence of civil war. Luckily, our family’s love can shelter us from the cruelty around us. However, many decades later, the Middle East appears to be stuck in the same, yet MUCH more cruel, cycles of violence. Is there anything sadder for humanity then seeing innocent human beings suffering again and again? Why can’t love drive the world, like in the beautiful songs of our childhood, instead of extremism and hate?
