@exiledonline@CoreyRobin Yup. Nor US support for extermination of hundreds of thousands of Indonesian communists in 1965-66.

@ChMadar To her mind, America's sins are ones of omission rather than commission. -
@CoreyRobin Yes. Almost every moral code, from Babylonian Talmud to Aquinas to our criminal statues, holds sins of commission are far worse. -
.
@ChMadar 1 other problem with Power: she assumes war is the antidote to genocide; in fact it almost always is the precipitant of genocide. -
@CoreyRobin not always, from my reading of her book. She calls for more involvement in preventing atrocity via diplomatic flexibility... -
@Scootles7 That's true. Fair enough.
