blood diamonds (the truth) final conflict

 Diamonds. What causes the terrorizing of people in sierra Leone? Us. We are the people who buy the diamonds that cost people their hands and lives. People all over Sierra Leone is at war against each other for these shining jewels. How can we help? DON'T BUY DIAMONDS. People pay high price for this jewel for something  over what it is worth. Huge sum of money and people's lives are destroyed because of this greed for diamonds. People's homes are destroyed, people imprisoned and people forced to work. Some of us already know that and ignore it. WHY? People just think it can't be helped. People are forced into the army for diamonds.  Why would you buy diamonds that is not worth enough. Not enough because the diamond you put on your girlfriend's or wife's hand cost the true finder everything. Family, friends, neighbors are all killed for this blood lust for diamonds. kids ripped away from their family and thrown in the mud just for money. Someone can do something. Who? US!!! Help the people. Illegal smuggling, young forced killers and your life used just for these jewels. NO. put a stop to this and tell the world where all the diamonds come from and the cost of all this. People's lives can be saved and restored if we help them. We can start a riot or whatever to stop the diamond hunt. You are the reason because of the diamonds you buy. Do you really want kids to kill recklessly when they don't even know that the people that they are killing are the people that are trying to help them? End the pain and suffering of people. Is this what you want to see? A world of peace? Or a living hell? Having to find something that looks valuable and have some royal or rich family buy it? Ignoring kids mutilated alive? It's your decision that can change the life of all these people. Make your decision now. It will matter.

Masudur,
I was very moved by how passionately you feel about this issue. http://www.unicef.org/protection/index_37219.html
or amnesty international are organizations who are fighting this. Diamonds are only worth as much as we choose to pay for them. Children and families in Africa are paying much too much for a piece of pretty jewelry. We should boycott diamonds. Let me just say wow!
