After explaining to a friend the other day about how I hate “gotcha” politics, I played the gotcha game today.

It was at the debate between College Republicans and College Democrats. I wasn’t debating, but they opened the floor up for questions.

After noting how the Democrats had agreed that US intervention was needed in cases such as genocide, I asked them, “How would you respond to a hypothetical situation where a dictator from the Middle East is using mustard gas on Kurds and filling mass graves?”

I feel very guilty afterwards, but I will admit, I loved doing it at the time. Am I a hypocrite, or only human?
