I didn't. We were talking about interceding in another country when it was believed they were doing wrong. You brought it down to the individual level in what appeared to be an effort to show a personal analogy. If I misunderstood and it was not an analogy, I apologize.

No need to apologize, it was indeed a personal analogy and if putting a boarder in between changes much depends on the circumstances. Denmark and Sweden seem kind of hypothetic to me though, EU and everything else considered. Yes, I believe that as civilized humans, under circumstances we should not sit duck and wait for the genocides in Balkan, Africa or Middle East just taking their toll while Al Jazeera, CNN and Fox have a ball. That's where the UN resolutions come in and as far as I recall, with the blessing of France and in tacit agreement of Germany Saddam "successfully" ignored a couple a couple of them until the proverbial dodo hit the proverbial fan.
Think about how WWII maybe could have been prevented by intervening in Germany for violating the 1920 agreements prior to 1939.
