It's the first time that I hear that WW-2 has been fought by the Allies to
save the Jews. But the question would have been very actual if we had been
asked about Srebrenica or Rwanda some years ago. Today it's relevant again,
but in behalf of the Afghan people: how to avoid a humanitarian catastrophy
without foreign troops?
