Throughout history, individuals, societies, and even nations find themselves at a loss at how to act towards a certain situation. Each and every day, we see small injustices occur right in front of our very eyes and yet we do not do a single thing in order to prevent or halt it. Society finds it a hassle to meddle within other people's business and makes a point to say it's in fact rude to butt one's head into other's affairs, even when they are in need of aid. The United States of America has always interfered with other countries for better or for worse. By acting as the world police, the US is able to stop horror and conflict in it's path, however it is often for an ulterior motive.
In the Kite Runner, Haasan is a boy whom manages to catch the last kite in the kite running competition. However, he is then forced into an alleyway and raped by several other boys for the sake of vanities such as 'vengeance' or 'pride'. Another boy watches this happen without doing a single thing to help or prevent such an evil to occur. That boy would be Amir, the main narrator of the story. He watches his servant be raped in front of his eyes and ignores the fact that it even happened.
It is indeed true 'That all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.'
