Libya

Because we KNEW what Hitler was doing and did nothing. We didn't even fulfill our own pathetic quota of 10% wartime Jewish immigration. We stood by, like everyone else and didn't intervene. We could have saved millions of people.

How much it would cost?? How much does it cost not to act against brutal regimes who kill hundreds of thousands of people? How much does it cost to let women be raped while their babies are pulled from their hands then murdered by government police forces? Literally, thrown up in the air and shot in front of their mothers?

We should have entered WWII before Japan attacked us. We didn't. When "we" (the people) saw the horrors of Nazi Germany - that moment was our call to action. It isn't just America's responsibility to ensure that mass murder doesn't happen - it is a human crisis that all of humanity SHOULD be responsible for - we SHOULD take the lead, as a world super power. We don't. We never go to war for purely humanitarian reasons. We have an underlying agenda and claim to be there (sometimes) for the greater good of innocent people.
