A large portion of these struggles are brought onto one's self by one's self. If one is dumb enough to get one's self into such a position, one should not expect total strangers to come to one's aid. And since there is always two sides to every story, a stranger would be doubly dumb to get involved in a political fracas, in some remote country, over some unknown cause.
