So you think the UN should invade Uganda and impose our western values through violence..?
Stinking imperialist..
I'm saying stick to the mantra of "protecting the human rights" which the UN claims to do, but then only actually enforces when there are financial or political interests involved.
Either you leave everyone to their business or you DO accept an imperialist position and stand your ground for (or against) everyone. If you honestly think the existence of human rights should trump local or national laws, then that ALWAYS happens, not only when you have vested interests in the outcome. It either is or isn't.
Personally, I'm a fan of the Alexander the Great approx, but either you take one or the either, the issue is consistency.
Or just be honest about it. Issue a statement going "Armies cost money to mobilize, and we have absolutely no interest in helping these people whatsoever. We get nothing from it. Deal with it". Of course that would clash with the PR of "the good guys" everyone goes for these days...
