Why aren't we intervening in Darfur and Zimbabwe right now? On some level, it's a question of will. We don't have the troops, but we could add them if we really cared. But what would they do once they were there? Superintend refugee camps? There are a lot of failed states in the world, and it's not like anyone really knows how to fix them.
