I wonder if I should care...

Dear Diary,

It's really hard being such an important global figure. There are so many problems around this big, crazy world of ours, and yet there is only so much Peace and Justice I can spread. Is it wrong for me to focus my energies and resources on the Middle East and other oil producing nations, when clearly the rest of the planet is in chaos?

I'm not one to quibble over moral dilemmas, but I keep hearing about disturbing events, and they make me pause and wonder: Should I care?

There are riots from Addis Ababa to Paris to Zimbabwe. Genocide in Sudan. Famine and starvation in Niger. I'm not even sure what's going on in Haiti....

The point is, I can't do all and be all things to all people -- try though I might. And while I feel guilty about this, I need to realize that I'm fighting for a larger concept: Freedom -- and Freedom is far more important than a few people in the third world, right?

Yes it is.
