Being actually honest about the morality involved is a strong beginning. As for what can actually be *done*, I'm reminded of a Police song from 40 years ago:

Hide my face in my hands

Shame wells in my throat

Our comfortable existence is reduced

to a shallow, meaningless party

Seems that when some innocents die

All we can offer them

is a page in some fucking magazine

Too many cell phones and not enough food

This what we've seen

Driven to tears.

Driven to tears.

Driven to tears.

Driven to tears.

Sting has been as guilty as anyone of glamorous celebrity activism, but he nailed the situation pretty starkly with that song.
