If we don't, we get criticized; If we do, we get criticized; So let's intervene, do the right thing, and get criticized!!!

We were swift to respond in the 30's-40's with the persecution of the Jews, have we lost our sensibilities for the plight of this particular group of people to be selfish in our own affairs? It seems we have opened the flood gates for one group but closed the window for the other group.

Actually, we only entered WWII when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. The persecution of the Jews wasn't a factor. We were reactive in self defense, we didn't rush to anyone's aid...

Very true, the bombing of Pearl Harbor brought us into WW2, however the atrocities that were occurring in Europe and Nazi Germany, were a topic of discussion. Once we entered the war and the first hand accounts of what happened in Europe became more of a talking point then what led us into the war, is my opinion on this. A follow up question as well, we built for a lack of a better term "concentration" camps in CA and forced US Japanese citizens onto these camps. Are we guilty of the same atrocities as Germany?

Déjàvu....then catastrophic attacks happen on our soil at Pearl Harbor.....and again on 9-11.....we cover our eyes today and pretend it is not happening, while the max exodus from Syria and other parts brings with the honest good people those few infiltrators.....blinders are for working horses and mules to plow fields back home in eastern KY, not for use in foreign policy.
