the topic title is a version of a famous quote by Edmund Burke.
in a show i watched, one character was about to be sent back to rwanda to be executed. he was a doctor in rwanda who was asked by military men to set up a shelter for tutsis. when his clinic was packed full of tutsis, the military men came back with even more men and proceeded to slaughter everyone there except the doctor. the doctor had let it happen and didn't do anything (tried to reason with the military men, get help, etc.) do you think just because one individual did nothing against evil, he should have to face the consequences as if he did an act of evil himself? |
