Yes, I was referring to Desert Storm, where we did not remove Saddam from power per se, but it was certainly an element of the conflict to trim his hedges, if you get my drift (wow, that was a terrible analogy).

I suppose you could argue that the post-WW2 government of Japan was beneficial, but then again, their new constitution wasn't just the product of Americans, but rather the Japanese editing of the American draft.

In any case, and back on topic, I'm sure we all agree that "killing the government over there" is hardly the best course of action.
Certainly not. 3nodding

Maybe the fire could be stamped out if the UN could muster a large multi-national force to police the region but then what? For how long? Would the violence flare up again after everyone packs up and returns home?

Who knows? The solutions are never really that clear or easy. neutral

The trouble is that nobody is denying that people are dying over there, it's about how people are calling it either "genocide" or just "casualties." Frankly, I don't see it too much as a real discussion so much as a "He Said/She Said" sort of situation, but I'm glad to say that the UN is taking measures:
