I've just re-read my last two postings and I'm wondering if I'm a walking contradiction. Am I wrong to disparage President Bush for his idealism when at the same time I want to ensure that lessons of Auschwitz are not forgotten? Should I be willing to have American troops sent to places to liberate those who are being slaughtered simply because of their race, religion or ethnicity? If yes, what are the minimum criteria for intervening? 100 killed? 10,000? 100,000? 1 million?
To be honest, I don't know. I'll have to think about it. It's easy to say "yes", unless those troops who are going to do the fighting and dying are from your country, your town, your family.
