OK, say you're a dictator of a third world country who brutally oppresses the people. If you got a letter from the UN, asking you nicely to "please come visit us so we can put you on trial, strip you of power and imprison you for war crimes. We'd really appreciate it."Originally posted by Emerald Aeris
There's no "peacey-nicey-touchy" way? Like say, a trial? We liberal hippie peace nuts ask too much.
Somehow, I highly doubt you'd accept the offer.
Like it's been said countless times before, evil will only triumph when good men do nothing.
By the way, that quote is most often used in reference to the Rwanda genocides in the early 90's. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, that's when nearly two and a half million people - mostly Tutsis - were slaughtered. Instead of providing assistance, most other nations turned their heads, and even the UN decided to pack up and high-tail it out of central Africa because it was too dangerous. A lot of people wanted to stop the mass murders, but nobody did. Hence, the triumph of evil.
