R2P: "Foreign policy is hard; good intentions are not enough."
NATO intervened in Libya to stop a predicted but still hypothetical bloodbathand now can only wring its hands as a real slaughter continues in Syria. The Arab League can't endorse two western invasions of Arab countries in one year; the vote to oust Qaddafi was de facto a vote to let Assad stay in place. The world protests the violence. Assad celebrates his license to kill. The humanitarian hawks in the White House didn't intend to condemn thousands of Syrians to death, but that is what the intervention in Libya has done. -- The Big Bill From Libya | Via Meadia
