Agreed. I have no problem saying that Western culture of tolerance and inclusion and freedom is absolutely better than and superior to some of the other alternatives out there like fanatical Islam and capitalist/socialist China.

Westernism is suffering a crisis of conscious right now. We are trading what we have fought for for things we are afraid of. Wake up, indeed.

As long as it stays as just your opinion, that's fine. But I'd have a problem with people who think they should take their opinions on morals & ethics and go force it on other parts of the world. And before anyone asks, no I'm not saying genocide should be ignored because "that's their culture." But going to another place and pointing guns in their face saying "stop being violent!" is a bad idea, imho

That leaves us with an interesting conundrum - what, pray tell, should we do about genocide then?

Actually stopping people has just been taken off the table by you. Sitting around and lamenting the state of the world is only going to make us feel better, but won't do much for people being slaughtered for their race/beliefs/orientation/whatnot.

That leaves....?
