As someone who is American, I hope it doesn't, either! And I hope if it DOES come to that, it's not America that responds. The UN, maybe, as suggested downthread (though honestly, I have no idea, so take that with a grain of salt), but I'm very doubtful of our government's ability to pull off anything helpful at this point, regardless of intention. Which doesn't mean that we as ordinary citizens shouldn't be educating ourselves-- because we definitely should.
