If you are beating up someone, and I do not try to interfere, I am a bad person. If I'm beating someone, I'm disrespecting the autonomy of the peer I'm beating as well as breaking the law. Of course, you and/or the police should intervene when a peer is being disrespected or injured. If an autonomous country invades another autonomous country, our country certainly can jump in to aid the country being invaded if it wants to. I don't know of any obligation to do so, though, unless there's a mutual defense treaty in place. EDIT: The context of the discussion has been the internal affairs of a country. Karen
