Kidnapped Nigerian Schoolgirls?

Should the US go in and help or leave it alone? We didn't go in and help when a dormitory of schoolboys were burned alive.

We should all post a hashtag and then get on with our lives, feeling better about ourselves for the couple minutes worth of effort it took. That's what Michell did:

Honestly, what does posting a hashtag do aside from giving the poster a feel good moment?

I feel better already.

Doing almost nothing is the best you got? Pathetic.

We are not the world's policeman. It's about time that Nigeria stepped up to the plate and helped deal with their own situation. And it's about time that if additional outside assistance is needed that the European Union finally lift a finger.

If the neocons want to start yet another war over something, let's start by sending some of the chicken-hawks and their kids over there.

Accidents happen.

I prefer to think of it as Randroid Paul coming around to see something MY way.

While I simply can NOT understand the Nigerian's government INACTION and apparent indifference,since they were given the information early and did not react in a timely fashion....
I STILL believe that a combined effort to bring these young girls back is of paramount importance.

IF it were YOUR young daughter would you not want that??? "We are here to OVERCOME the
illusion of our separateness.".....Thich Nhat Hanh

Don't forget that Boko Haram targets boys as well as girls

Picture the following scene, if you will, horrible though it is. A group of young schoolboys are asleep in their dormitory when the doors are quietly locked and the building set alight. Most are burned alive, while those who manage to escape have their throats slit by the Islamic extremists waiting outside. What's more, it's the third such attack in eight months.
...
The massacre that I refer to above took place in the northern state of Yobe just two months ago, and, like the previous two before it, caused little stir in the wider world. ...
