Fair enough. Than the first thing any military intervention oughta do is remove the white people and send em to Minnesota, just so its clear that we aren't intervening to put whitey back in charge. After that, I'm not sure what we really hope to accomplish, but whatever.
Democracy? Long shot? Who knows.
Ending genocide? I'm not aware that its whats occurring there now.
Not_democracy should not be the pretext for us to invade someone. If it was, Cuba would have been taken out as soon as the Russians pulled their last people out. Anyhoo, all I'm saying is that those white people should be oughta there. For whatever reason, it seems that the bulk of the stories I read about there focus on whats happening to them.
