Millions of people being aware of Khartabil's situation doesn't mean anything if he's executed. Preventing that is the goal. It cannot be accomplished without force, or threat of force, or some other form of pressure that only world governments have the capacity to apply. And we are not any of those.
- maqr 11y agoWe (the people) should probably be at least one of the governments. I don't know how these decisions are actually made, but I would think there'd be at least one government with one military team that would willingly rescue him. If anyone is in the military, what's the feeling when these kinds of things happen? It seems like there should be brave people volunteering for those kinds of rescue missions where someone really needs their help.
