I don't think nations can stand aside for ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As Brian Urquhart has said quite correctly, I don't think that individual countries in the international community can stand aside and let all of these slaughters continue without doing anything.
Individuals can stand up against genocide in Darfur and Iran's quest for nuclear weapons.
Every nation ridicules other nations, and all are right.
If there's a clear genocide somewhere, don't we really want to positively impact that kind of a situation? Isn't that what we're all about? Isn't that what we've always been about?
Iran is the only country in the world that's threatening to erase another country from the map as part of a collective genocide.
Genocide is an attempt to exterminate a people, not to alter their behavior.
As long as your ideology identifies the main source of the world's ills as a definable group, it opens the world up to genocide.
There is no such thing as the United Nations.
But at the beginning, our definition of the genocide was what happened to Armenia in 1917 or 1919, it's happened to the Jew in Europe, and we were not realizing - In our point of view, they have not the tools to do a genocide.
There is no ethnic cleansing in Bahrain, no mass genocide, no policy of killing innocent people.
