Peace Isn't Possible in Evil's Face
(Los Angeles Times) Elie Wiesel - I have seen enough of the brutality, the ugliness, of war to oppose it heart and soul. Yet, I am in favor of intervention when no other option remains. Only military intervention stopped bloodshed in the Balkans and destroyed the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Had Europe's great powers intervened against Adolf Hitler's aggressive ambitions in 1938 instead of appeasing him in Munich, humanity would have been spared the unprecedented horrors of World War II. We have a moral obligation to intervene where evil is in control. Today, that place is Iraq.
