Getting Involved With Genocide
As sad as it is to see other countries suffer from genocide and other terrible misfortunes, I don't think it's really our place to step in. America can do great things to help other countries but getting involved with genocide can result in more bad events occurring.
Many people in America have big hearts and earn to help others in need. But can helping out with this sort of thing really get anyone anywhere? Helping out can result in many different ways. For example, one way it can result in is it all becoming resolved and everyone will have a happy ending. That's definitely not realistic. The other result that would most likely occur is those countries could feel like we're overstepping boundaries by sending in troops to help out those countries. This could result in America becoming attacked and also having genocides.
Though there are many ways it could go wrong, we could do a few small things to help out. We could send care packages to those places in need with things like clothes, food, etc. But I think that's as much as we should help out.

Acrostic Poem
People for prohibition were generally older
Rejects free sexual standards
Old Americans
Having alcohol beverages were a sin
In rural areas, less people wanted prohibition
Booze was used more
Immigrants
"This was stupid" thought the urban people
In small town prohibition was strongest
Older American citizens wanted prohibition
New Americans were against it
Rejects free sexual standards
