Americans need to take a stand and help save the lives of others. How is it that some of us can sit around here not doing anything? What if the cards were turned around? What if it were Americans who were seeking safety and no one wanted to take us in because they thought Americans were terrorist? Children have no fault in the mess adults have caused.

I do think that genocide is unacceptable in any shape or form. No I do not believe that Genocide can be just. I am positive that others think differently about it.
