This really upsets me. Not the fact that she is injured but the fact that she believes her life is worth so much that her government should try to do something to save her from the mess she put herself in. Syria is in a state of civil war but never mind that, let's stop the world to save some pretty French girl.In a six and a half minute video posted to YouTube Thursday, Edith Bouvier, a journalist at Le Figaro, is pleading with the French government for her evacuation after she was hurt in the same shelling attacks that killed Marie Colvin and Remi Ochlik.
"I have a broken leg," Bouvier says in the video, which was translated by The Guardian. The sound of explosions can be heard in the background. "The femur is broken along its length and laterally too. I need to undergo surgery as soon as possible. The doctors here have treated us as well as they could but they can't perform surgery. So I need a ceasefire and an ambulance or car in good enough shape to get us out," she adds.
It's just like this thread. I wouldn't want to lose my life or a leg but I also am not going to go to another country and be expecte to be treated any differently. Like the pretty blonde reporter who was attacked in Egypt, she put herself in that position. I can't feel bad for her.
It's much like someone who goes to the top of a mountain and expects rescue helicopters to come get them. Instead in this case there are millions of other people on top of the mountain who need to be rescued. Those other people didn't put themselves there though and didn't expect for everything to work out for them since they are first worlders. It's the worst form of narcissism, in my opinion.
I could be wrong. Could be a damn tragedy.
What do you think.
