The fact that anyone could not latch onto it with a degree of fervor is what's so dismaying to me. We're debating the efficiencies of stopping the Holocaust. That's the philosophy that kept us from Rwanda, to our eternal dishonor. To ignore such a need is, to me, antithetical to one's own humanity, and I cannot make myself believe that the majority, as you term them, doesn't share that basic value. Thus, to me, it has to be a wilfull decision to ignore the slaughter. And the only motive I can see is the political one.
