None. Your only responsibility as a Christian is your own salvation.
As an American and a human being you cannot stand idly by and watch the first genocide of the century.
“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Martin Luther King, Jr.. Baptist minister who led the civil-rights movement in the US, 1929-1968
“If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
If I am only for myself, what am I?
And if not now, when?”

Christ did not come to be served, but to serve. As a Christian, or any other good natured person (for those of you who do not want to label yourselves), your responsibility is to seek those in need and offer whatever gifts you have. You may not be Angelina Jolie with the ability to spend millions on AIDS research and adopting children, but you can touch one life at a time through feeding a homeless person, visiting someone who is sick or in jail, or mentoring a child without a good role model.
All of these are examples of humans with needs and rights that are often overlooked for the more media friendly extremes. Remember Jesus' words: “Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me” (Matthew 25:40).

I do not see why you would try to stereotype your veiws by asking "what would a Christian do?". What you should do, being how you know in your own mind what is right and wrong, is make the decision for yourself. Are you a good person, or a bad person? would a good person make this decision? Or is this something that a bad person would do?

None the Bible clearly states the earth will wear out like an old garment, we can't stop what God has said would happen.
