Crossroads of East and West and to the West of It at the Crossroads that Have Never Seemed to Disappear Since At Least 1917, And There is the One Eyed Monster, And There is Eid

Today is Eid Al Fatir, as recognized by many around the world.
Eid Mubarak, a well known greeting, to exclaim on this day.
The world has seen the current tensions in the Middle East duplicate itself many times.
1917 was chosen in the title to allude to the hackneyed date of the Balfour Declaration.
Palestine, Israel, Jerusalem, Iraq, Afghanistan, names known over recent years to hotspots of violence, anguish, tensions.
Questions often come up, why do the places near, if not the locations themselves, where the teachings of peace emerge from over thousands of years, be the places where the most intense strife is ongoing? Why during Ramadhan? Why on Eid?
Turkey, behests for Kyrgyzstan to get involved, Palestine, Iraq leaders, and others initiated communication to come to diplomatic solutions to the tensions conundrum.
Who was the perpetrator of the bombing of the girls school in Kabul last week that claimed the lives of about 60 persons?
Many in the 'West', know very little about 'Sunni', 'Shia', and henceforth very, very little about the difference between them. Media in the West however nevertheless will often cite these differences as a major plausible factor in the tensions.
It was debated to try to sing a fable about Afghanistan in the wake of the girls school tragedy.
Let it be said though, there are lessons that can be applied to everywhere.
lndividuals that lurk for vulnerabilities, in crowded places, so they can attack with a thermal method, is very old, whether bomb blast like today, or simply attempt to burn a village, such as through strategically placed arson points.
It may be that evil doers that manipulate vulnerabilities while seeking loss in life, often do not care which 'side', their victims are on.
So, they may attack a 'Shia' town, then within a few weeks later, attack a 'Sunni' town.
Meanwhile, the ruthless violence that went on and is still going on, in Burma-Myanmar, is being examined and analyzed, and reiterating, the events in Afghanistan are going right alongside them in the larger analysis framework.
Who is the one that starts out with a noble cause, maybe a religious slogan to substantiate mass terror, then slide right on over to seeking power, maintaining power, then wealth, then greed, on to rugs, human trafficking, and rest on entities like the UN or consortium of nations to politically recognize them as leaders, giving them more time to continue perpetuating and perpetrating oppression?
Words to the wise, beware, be careful; seek out wrong doers, and put them trial.
