So you think that foreign intervention is not right in some civil wars.

Would you have supported intervention in the Iraq civil war that followed Gulf War I, when the Shiites and marsh Arabs revolted and Saddam savagely suppressed them?

In calling it a civil war, you are acknowledging that it was not a war for freedom from foreign domination. They achieved that when the French left. Yet you still persist in double talk about "they are now free from foreign domination" and so on.

I guess it's easy to adopt the viewpoint of one's clients.
