On "The Politics of Rescue"
Whether the USA likes it or not, we're the country with the most power and influence in the world today. I'm sure that no citizen of this country would have us stand by while innocent people are slaughtered in any country of the world. But, sadly we don't have the resources, and sometimes not the will to do otherwise. However, as Dr. Walzer suggests we should be the leaders in bringing about the end to the killing.

I agree with you when you say that we should not “…stand by while innocent people are slaughtered in any country of the world.” No one anywhere should be forced into exile, tortured, or murdered because of government dictatorship, religious fanaticism, or ethnic hatred. However, is it not important that we consider those who are suffering in our own country? I think that may be we should concentrate on fixing our own problems before we attempt to remedy those of foreign countries. It is something to think about!
