The other thing is, we, as in the western societies / NATO intervene quickly in Libya on the basis of protecting civilians - so claiming some high moral ground - but the same people at the top of the civvy Gov'ts seem to not quite doing as much about Syria ???????
I understand Russia is blocking but it does make the UN/NATO/Western Society look a bit hypocritical and "selective".
Whatever happened to the COIN doctrine, it seems the US don't get it always but surely this whole episode,
if true goes against the principles ?
