1. Once Were Warriors-
Ignatieff stresses that there is a correlation between narcissistic nationalism and aggression. Ethnic nationalist conflicts result from the breakdown of the state and the collapse of common organizations that counter ethnic identities and allegiances. These breakdowns occur in areas that he identifies as "zones of danger," primarily non-Western and formerly colonized countries. He contrasts these areas to the Western dominated zones of safety. He insists that "people become patriotic when they are afraid, when the only answer to the question "Who will protect me now?" becomes "My own people."" We are fully disgusted that we send UN troops into Bosnia and declare "safe havens." We are so unwilling to risk our lives for theirs that we stand by and watch helpless civilians being torn to pieces in refugee cities. He suggests that we feel a sort of moral disgust toward victims, toward those who cannot help themselves.
When faced with the complication and brutality of intercultural conflict, leaders of Western democracy and human rights institutions have been tempted to throw up their hands and walk away. Ignatieff explains that victimhood is a chosen identity, not an innate condition. Involvement quickly turns to disillusionment and giving up all hope. This, says Ignatieff, is not only 'involvement fatigue." It can simply be yielding to the 'seductiveness of moral disgust' ("They are brutes and savages. Nothing can be done with them."). As war has changed, Organizations like the Red Cross have worked to outlaw certain practices. The Geneva Convention of 1864 has had to be adapted as warfare has changed from encounters between armies to the intentional targeting of civilians. Some dedicated groups have questioned the neutrality to the International Red Cross" philosophy. Ignatieff goes on to explore and then dismiss the role of contemporary human rights groups as possible instruments of ethnic conflict resolution.
