Poll question: Can a comparison be made between preventing rape, and preventing wide-scale violence?

Scenario 1: You are walking to your car in an underground parking lot, when you witness a rape occurring. Deciding its none of your business, you quickly get in your car and drive away.

Scenario 2: Genocide, or violence against civilians on a large scale level (i.e Rwanda, Libya) is occurring. The international community decides it's an "internal affair," none of their business, and let events play out on their own.

Does a comparison exist?

1. Yes one can prevent both rape and large scale violence against civilians by killing everyone before

they can do either.

2. Sure, if you can equate what to do with a school bully and nuclear war.
