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. Taro

Well the concept is the same, unless you believe individual morality differs from national morality. Why would it? Why should an individual help another individual if she is being raped, but a nation not help the citizens of another nation if they are being raped? The individual action is of course simpler and easier to execute than the national action, but the moral philosophy that generates the action is similar, if not the same.
