When Compassion Isn't Enough
A teenage boy sits in a refugee camp, his infected ankle wound festering for days. Aid workers pass by his tarp shelter repeatedly, but no one stops. When someone finally carries him to medical care, his friends erupt in celebration-not because the treatment was extraordinary, but because someone finally acted. This scene from Rwanda captures a hard truth we'd rather avoid: good intentions without the power to protect accomplish remarkably little when violence rules the day. Consider the uncomfortable reality of Bosnia in the 1990s. UN peacekeepers wrote strongly worded letters while Croatian soldiers shot puppies near kindergartens. Humanitarian workers organized soccer games while families showed grenade scars and described escaping death squads. Then came Srebrenica-8,000 men and boys murdered while international observers stood by, bound by rules of engagement that valued process over lives. The genocide ended only when the Rwandan Patriotic Front achieved military victory. No amount of compassion, negotiation, or good intentions stopped the killing. Sometimes protection requires force, and pretending otherwise costs lives. This isn't a comfortable lesson, but it's an essential one for anyone who truly wants to make the world better rather than simply feel better about themselves.
