And just the same, some people are surprised to learn slavery is still a thriving institution in some parts of the world. The NIMBY mindset might have something to do with it. Even still, it would be rather difficult for any one country to go around the world and stamp all the evil out that exists. If they tried, they would probably make the world an even more evil place.
"Never Again" was not about collective world action, it was about self defense and not depending upon others who might have an interest in your plight
Exactly. It was about a group of people who have been crapped on since the beginning of recorded history, saying this was the last time. We will be ready for you the next time, and if we go down, you are going down too.
That said, what the Chinese are doing is horrific and completely unacceptable. It is sickening that the world turns a blind eye just so they can buy cheap goods. The rest of the world needs to start producing the things currently made in China. Breaking our dependence on them is a matter of national and global security.
