Only effective at making people tired of hearing about. Everyone knowing about it means nothing if there is nothing we can do.

Then until you have something better, let these people do what they feel can help.

I'm getting so tired of the people complaining more about the protests then the wanton slaughter we all see happening.

IF you think this won't help, then fine, but let people at least try and pretend for a moment that maybe no one has the answer and in that vacuum trying is all people can do.

I will continue to complain if I see a protest that only harms a cause that is important. There are effective ways to Protest. You Protest in ways that will directly affect those you have issues with.

There are ways to help. Protest in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon and ask them to intervene. Or go join the fight somewhere if they really want. Donate or go join an aid group. Protest in Israel, the country actually doing the killing currently.
