[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4599446, member: 63706"] Ok, looked up interventionism, I was confused because we were talking about the golden rule. That is an individual issue, so interventionism was out of context since it is an issue of nations. In general, I'm against the idea. But I'm also not an isolationist either. Geopolitics is a complex matter, it's not always easy to say whether an action is moral or not. As for Sweden, you compared them to other Scandinavian countries. I expanded that to all of Europe. The UK, Belgium, Italy are all quite a bit worse off than Sweden, Spain is about the same. None of the sites I looked at would give an average for Europe, and I didn't want to add up each country to figure it out. I did calculate a global average per 100k. The number I came up with was about 110 deaths per 100k world wide. Sweden is just over half that average, so to say they are among the worst is a giant stretch. [/QUOTE]
