Re: I feel bad, but...

Why can't the UN handle it? Eh, the UN's piss uselessness is a large part of why NATO was necessary in the first place. In theory "put opposing interests on the same council with the power of veto so that the only time they'll take action is for a truly just cause" sounds great, but in practice it just means they never take action, even for a just cause.

It's a little bit depressing, that the war against Saddam under false pretenses has led to the US being, now that they have the same cause only for real this time, "warred out", so to speak. Wolf was cried too many times and now that it looks like the wolves are legitimately here for once everyone is just going to sit on their hands. The major American NATO allies also spent way too much in Afghanistan and feel about the same way.

Sure, it would be fantastic for Russia - or freaking China - to step up and say "we want to be the next superpower, we think the US shat the bed last time and we're going to show what good guys we are by moving in only now that there's proof of chemical weapons attacks against civilians". Chinese politicians making economic inroads into Africa have a favourite talking point that their brand of imperialism is "better" than Western imperialism - because it's friendlier, shares more, etc. - and this would be a good chance to prove it, if they mean it. Japan also has an enormous army, but for purely political reasons can never use it.

Instead you get a massive humanitarian disaster costing hundreds of thousands of innocent lives and producing millions of refugees, while the UN does what it does best - fuck all.
