SPEAK FOR YOURSELF: Robert P. George: ISIS Is Committing Genocide; It Is Our Moral Obligation to Defeat Them. “The United States ‘doesn’t have any real moral choice,’ George said. It is ‘our moral obligation’ to stop the genocide.” George has a reputation for being a natural law thinker, so you’d think that he has some good argument as to why the American people have a moral obligation to do anything about people killing other people in faraway lands. But he doesn’t. Evidently, “genocide” is a magic word that permits — no, requires — foreign intervention.
