Diplomats yes. de Mello was a veteran of many postings in troubled places and was choosing by K. Annan due to his track record.

Troops we cannot because only after all diplomatic efforts are exhausted we should resort to force.

The old Brazilian saying is:

"We give a cow, not get into a fight. But we will give the whole herd not to abandon it."

Hence no good to get into a fight. We may end up liking it :-)
