Quote by D.B. Jones

“Life is filled with challenges, blessing and the awareness that in life there are no guarantees. But one thing I’m sure of, is that for me, I’d rather die regretting the things I’ve done, then to regret the things I didn’t do, but could have. So with this my new motto, I’ve decided to pursue what has lain quiescent in the back of my mind so now I write.”

The United States entered the war after it was attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor and, as a nation, we certainly did not do as much as we should have to save the Jewish population of Europe. The basic question is still with us: Is it right, justifiable, to intervene in a nation’s internal activities when those activities include genocide, ethnic cleansing, or some other demonstrable harm to a subset of its people?”
