Dilemma 5/23/09

You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?

1. You are president of your country, and you agree to start a war to prevent an international catastrophe.
2. You are president of your country, and you agree to a secret operation to overthrow a government that is unfriendly to your country.

All things being equal, I would choose the secret operation over the war. However, in this case, the "international catastrophe" in #1 would seem to be a far more valid reason for instigating conflict than the "unfriendliness" of #2. So, I guess, reluctantly, I will say prevent #2. (Great, now you have Magical Power Me starting wars. Boo. :-P)
