YES! YES!!!! HE SAYS WHAT WE'RE ALL THINKING!!!
My bad, didnt catch that one, or forgot i did!
New question then...
It's a lovely day out, and you decide to go for a walk along the trolley tracks that crisscross your town. As you walk, you hear a trolley behind you, and you step away from the tracks. But as the trolley gets closer, you hear the sounds of panic -- the five people on board are shouting for help. The trolley's brakes have gone out, and it's gathering speed.
You find that you just happen to be standing next to a side track that veers into a sand pit, potentially providing safety for the trolley's five passengers. All you have to do is pull a hand lever to switch the tracks, and you'll save the five people. Along this offshoot of track leading to the sandpit stands a man who is totally unaware of the trolley's problem and the action you're considering. There's no time to warn him. So by pulling the lever and guiding the trolley to safety, you'll save the five passengers. But you'll kill the man. What do you do?

Nope. The United States is the worst offender when it comes to committing acts of genocide, so I'll probably go the Islamist route and cheer when such attacks are perpetrated against it.Taking a cue from Clovie's reply above, where would her country be located on a world map?
Maybe Puerto Rico?
