And letting a critical part of the world blow itself up is in our best interests?
Thanks for clarifying, Obama Jr.
And you didn't answer the question.
Are we obligated to police the entire world from now until the end of time because there exists a possibility (however minuscule) that another Hitler could emerge?
No, we're not obligated to do anything. Much like nobody is obligated from pulling a child out of the way of a speeding car that's about to hit them.
But thanks for getting all drama-queen on us about the topic.
You're the one that pulled the Hitler card. If anyone is "getting all drama-queen"...
We can't solve the problems in the mid-east through war. It just isn't possible. If you want to suggest a peaceful approach, I could buy into that. But trying to do it by force only fuels extremism.
Hitler happened. It's in the history books. It's even in Wikipedia. Even Edgar Martinez and Kenny Lofton have probably have heard of him.
The "drama queen" comment was about you asking if we're obligated to police THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!
(OMG, THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!)
No, but we have more interests in some parts of the world than in others. Maybe those are the parts of the world we should concern ourselves with.
