Making sense of the non-sensical

Maybe i am naive, but how many more innocents have to die? Each day from the comfort of our safe lives we hear of slaughter and destruction, deaths of children by fire and shell.

This piece from the Guardian describes the situation well.

So it is outside of our monkey sphere but even so how can we let it go on?
