For decades, people have asked why the Allies did not bomb concentration camps, or train tracks leading to these camps, during the Holocaust. As Mitchell Bard revisits this question in "Could The Allies Have Bombed Auschwitz-Birkenau?", journalist Mark Halperin examines how military intervention might be used to stop the genocide in Darfur in the article "Make Sudan an Offer It Can't Refuse."
Discussion Questions
  • Should military intervention be used to stop genocide?
  • Who is responsible for stopping genocide?
  • Should the United Nations have more military power to prevent abuses of human rights?
  • Is it possible to stop genocide through nonviolent means?
