Exactly the question I raise, and I don't have the vaguest answer.

I can tell you this: most of my family was wiped out in concentration camps during WWII. My cousin Leah survived. But she was an incomplete woman. She was subjected to the most monstrous barbarity imaginable. She was a teenager and was given a hystorectomy by Nazi doctors without the benefit of anaesthetics. Millions were gassed, worked to death, and starved to death. The lucky ones were shot. Maybe they were luckier than the survivors. Their sins were nothing more than the accident of birth -- Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally retarded, ... the list goes on.

We saw Hutus and Tutsis slaughtering one another in outbreaks of ethnic cleansing. Were they any less worthy than Europeans? We did we not try to stop the genocide in SE Asia? Why here, and not there? And if now, why not then?
