> When I look at history, I see so many tragedies caused by being weak. Both Germany and the Soviet Union were able to invade Poland, for instance, and the Katyn massacre is a national scar. And who wouldn't want to defeat invaders like Genghis Khan? Have you ever heard of the Yangzhou massacre or the Three Massacres of Jiading? Why would we let civilization succumb to barbarism?
Well, what if people had refused to lend their talents to Hitler or Genghis Khan?

There were quite some that refused due to principles and beliefs, but I guess not enough, and when there are not enough the first sacrificed for nothing. Some places for other evil ideas that didn't reach global size, it means enough people stood up and they won. Whats the formula? I guess nobody knows.
