An Inconvenient Truth: never again? not true.

After World War Two, the world was shocked at the terrible concentration camps that the Nazis had set up to exterminate all who were different, which includes Jewish people, Gypsies, the mentally handicapped, prisoners of war, and others who opposed them. Around eleven million people died from this horrifying scheme, six million of them Jewish. There was a promise made thereafter that this would happen "never again". Unfortunately, this promise wasn't followed through. Today, there are several smaller-scale holocausts going on in places like Darfur, Sudan. And, like before, we are watching from the sidelines and hardly doing anything. The fact that there is more that can be done occasionally keeps me up late at night wondering.

Now, a total genocide would be bothersome to any normal person, but there may be different ways to look at it. The fact that the "never again" thing didn't go very well means that this could be a second chance. A second chance, that is, to stop Genocide. We have Holocaust museums and movies to remind us what happened, but the survivors of the Holocaust are growing older, and most have died. Plus, there are still many people (people with whom I don't and won't associate) who deny that the Holocaust even happened. This second Genocide could help hush those who are too ignorant and idiotic to face the truth right in front of there face. But, of course, it could go the total opposite way and we would end up with a Holocaust just as big as the one 70 years ago. There is also the chance that interference could cause an enormous conflict between invaders and the invaded. But if we, as one world, step in and stop the Genocide before it is too late, it could lead to a brighter future. It is getting later and later. Innocent people are dying. That just really puts a foul feeling in my stomach.
