Or maybe “how will history judge us?” is not a useful question to ask when making moral choices.
It assumes our many times descendants will judge our actions at all, and that if they do they will still have values that say wiping out a civilian population in war is evil.
We should stop helping SA to intentionally starve a people to death because we know it to be terrible now.

I don't think the people who are responsible for making these decisions think morally. So it is baffling to the common person, wondering why we let these things happen.
