There is a big difference between recognizing the need to do something and needing to immediately do something stupid and pointless.

Would it make me a coward if I thought flying sneaking into Nazi Germany alone to toss bricks at German soldiers probably wouldn't do a damn thing to stop the holocaust?

So if we really do nothing and thousands, maybe tens of thousands are slaughtered. Will you sleep soundly?
