Still, while I think it's the job of every human being to help police ourselves, we have to respect international boundaries. I won't go as far to say, "It's not our problem, therefore we should do nothing about it," but there have to be realistic limits to policing the world. We can't be international peacekeepers everywhere at once when we can barely do it in one country.
