So we should just let it happen?
Didn't say we should, but it does beg the question should we. We do have a long history of interfering, but where do you stop, and who is to say our moral values are right. Its appears our group huggy method doesn't actually solve anything, it seems like it just drags things out.

So the question is, is it better that "x" amount of people die in "y" amount of time, or a magnitude more spread out over decades? Its a moral question that tugs at the heart, but that is what things come down to. The constant is, if you don't interfere, then in all likely hood your enemys will be, so its all well and good to sit back and say, "its not our business".

what happens when the refugees from the Arab League "no fly zone" pour into Israel?
Seriously doubt the Israelis will let that happen, though there might be good PR in it. Hmm can imagine some strategist working on the pro's and con's now.
