To Intervene or Not?
By intervening we could put the welfare of strangers above the welfare of our own family. That's not an opinion, but a stark fact, and one that we don't often think of.
What of the innocent people who are in danger if we do not intervene? Well, the obvious question to ask is: why aren't they armed and prepared to protect themselves and their families? Isn't protection of one's family from harm the primary obligation of everyone, and not something to be outsourced to others?
