"Humanitarian military intervention"-do you believe there's still such a thing?

Last edited Tue Aug 5, 2014, 06:55 PM - Edit history (1)

Kosovo was cited as a past example...but is any situation like that likely to occur again?

And do you trust any of our country's leaders, past, present and possible future, to use force solely or primarily for "humanitarian" reasons?

I never believed "humanitarian intervention" was a real thing, and never trusted our leaders on that at all.
