You're ignoring the fundamental questions, Ted, that come from your conclusion that a nation should never use force against another nation unless the first nation is directly threatened by the second.

Why should an individual use force to help another individual if she is being raped, but a nation should not use force to help the citizens of another nation if they are being raped?

Why do you think that respecting "international law" (whatever that is) and respecting "sovereignity of nations" are more important than fighting for the rights of oppressed people to be free from persecution at the hands of people more powerful than them just because the oppressors happen to be citizens of the same country, and that country is not your country?

Why would you allow the ability of an elite 20% of a country's population to oppress 80% of the same country's population, rather than use US's ability to stop the elite 20% from their oppressive behavior?
