This is a solid discussion. Thank you to all those involved for keeping it civil.
I see your point Raellus and Cynic regarding NA's eventual outcome. But what about the scenario I described earlier?
How does ANY government expect to deal with a local population of 3 million refugees while keeping to the principles and ideals we discuss here?
Now the gray area...
I suggest that the government would "delay" moving on a situation like that and claim "we dont have the manpower" hoping all along that half die off in the coming year while recruiting every ounce of skill they can from them before hand.
How would WE claim the moral high ground knowing that we left 1.5 million people to die rather then die trying ourselves? Difficult question me thinks...
