You are right regarding in not being statisfied with no intervention,
military or not
But in the end the situation is that moral issues are left to the
individual and not to the collective
That is one of the main hurdles to be taken as a responsible
individual, sadly most of western governments and cooperations are
showing a extreme lack of even the most basic morality and are showing
a deeply felt disrespect towards its citizens and employees
See the extreme budget cuts in all area's i.e. education,
unemployment, ecology related (energy spending costs) mountain toppling
( usa) housing (mortgage scandal), Mexican Gulf disaster, Japan's
extremely endangering the whole world fed by commercial interests
How is it be possible that governements exorting their powers by the
people mandate (democracy) justify the extreme exploitation of its own
electorate?
Remember that Cameron was on tour selling weapons in the ME?
Weapons for peace or for profit?
Me think that these power structures went wrong and are NOT the right
bodies to take decisions regarding life and death simply because they
are not mentally equiped for taking this decisions at all
The last twenty years of international politics are showing just one
thing:
not taking care for the benefits of the people, neglecting the basic
needs of the people, not acting according a shared common moral
attitude, ignoring the rights of minorities, brutalizing 'normal'
people, aggresively promoting self interest and self enrichment.
This so called human live saving operation is an ordinary way of
protecting the OIL supplies to the western hemisphere
Where is the 'peace' corps in Bahrain or in Yemen, how about the
normal practise of slavery in Saudi Arabia?
We call the above Neo Liberalism, and it is Evil!

Its hard to stand on either side of the fence on these issues.
Again, saying that we knew that one thing would prevail over another
is easy to state after the fact. If nothing had been done, we would
be complaining that the world is just standing there watching as a
madman slaughters his constituents. Now that something has been
done, we complain that its all for commercial interests. Its a no
win situation.
