wow, we have some truly horrible people here.  Almost half of us would allow a genocide to happen.  You're gross.  Just so you know, if you voted no for the genocide, you are a horrible, horrible person.....maybe....maybe if you have a super good excuse...but I'm not seeing what it could be.  Even if you're a pacifist you still wouldn't want to see an entire peoples killed....would you?  Is that a way pacifists can be?


for Harry-a little...like on a scale of 1-10, a 2.4....I'm much more disappointed than I am mad.

For the record I misread the poll, and I thought it was asking in which situations US intervention would be required. Given that China is technically in the midst of a genocide right now, and given that I don't exactly want to start a war with a nuclear power, I didn't select that option. I do agree that genocide is of course a justification for intervention, however.
I can understand that.  I don't think we should be obliged to stop every attempted genocide, but if we can with acceptable losses in blood and coin, we should.

yeah, military action would have been justified against that piece of work
