<< Where there are significant human tragedies being played out, like in Bosnia and in Jewish concentration camps under Hitler, it seems that anyone who is strong enough to stop the bully is morally obligated to intervene. >>

What about if we are fairly certain that "significant human tragedies" will occur, if we don't stop it?

Should we wait until thousands more die, before we are morally obligated to intervene?

Before you answer, if Saddam Hussein is able to develop nuclear weapons, how much do you trust Saddam Hussein not to use his deadly weapons in extortion against other countries?
