Originally posted by Cooter View Postperpetual war
“The war, therefore if we judge it by the standards of previous wars, is merely an imposture. It is like the battles between certain ruminant animals whose horns are incapable of hurting one another. But though it is unreal it is not meaningless. It eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that the hierarchical society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. The very word "war," therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist. The peculiar pressure that is exerted on human beings between the Neolithic Age and the early twentieth century has disappeared and has been replaced by something quite different. The effect would be much the same if the three superstates, instead of fighting one another, should agree to live in perpetual peace, each inviolate within its own boundaries. For in that case each would still be a self-contained universe, freed forever from the sobering influence of external danger. A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war. This--although the vast majority of Party members understand it only in a shallower sense--is the inner meaning of the Party slogan: WAR IS PEACE.”

It is a lose lose situation, if we act we're drawn into a fucked up war with a fuzzy definition of the enemy. if we dont act, there is the possibility that more innocent people will die at the hands of their own government.
I don't know what I would do, but i'm also not CIC. I don't have the experience or international political savvy to know what is best in this instance. But if we act, are we also obligated to stop the genocides in africa, the slaughter of female babies in china, etc..? it's a slippery slope. I don't think there's a 'right' answer, as someone gets fucked no matter what.
What would naynay do?

I *do* think that it's a tragedy and a horrific thought that innocents are dying at the hands of their government, but why now are 1400 people more important than the last 100,000 who have died in this civil war?
