Of course it is foolish. Nothing I have said anywhere or anytime would suggest that I believe SH should have been allowed to continue his genocide? The world is a complicated place. As I have said--I wish we had a coherent policy for terminating it. But the world being so full of self interest and greed...it is not a course we want left to arbitrariness or happenstance (and NO. That is a general comment--NOT about the current invasion). One can appreciate the kind of conflicts that could develop were adjoining countries (let us say, Iran) unilaterally allowed into Turkey or Iraq or Israel to purportedly stop a genocide--and then decided to claim land and resources (NO, I am NOT claiming anything about American motives in the current conflict--OK?). Again, you suggest that I favor either genocide or helpless resignation. I favor neither. You are creating a hobson's choice of either/or options. Doesn't compute.
