"This would also be a wonderful opportunity for the US to shore up its tattered image by flexing its military muscles for purely humanitarian reasons. After all, it did not hesitate to impose a tight embargo on Iraq and launch into an unprovoked attack on a sovereign state."

Isn't that kind of a neo-conservative perspective?

Either way - you're right...they should. The whole world should. It just goes to show how useless the UN is.

Look up who is committing the genocide, and who the folks being slaughtered are..note their religions.

It will be telling.

It it were reversed, there would be an international outcry.

We can't go in...even when we have a real national interest in protecting our future, with acknowledgement from most of the world's intelligence agencies that our concern was valid, AND we stop the slaughter of at least 7,000 Muslims per month by deposing a brutal dictatorship, (read Ken Pollock's book, a Gathering Storm..or maybe it was a Threatening Storm..one was by Churchill, who was also ignored at the price of millions of lives) AND we help the natural desire of people achieve their dream of one person, one vote, as was the case in Iraq, the people of the world can be whipped into an anti-American frenzy and not support what was and still is a noble cause. Does anyone really think we can go in and stop this against what would be even MORE resistance? Especially in a case where it really would be supporting Christians' right to live against Muslim desire for Islamofascism?



Not.
