everything worked out as it should, imo, and would have gotten here by every which way

We are starting to beat the veritable dead horse here.. so... I know a number of Vietnamese and Cambodians who feel otherwise.. but certainly we can not turn back the clock. Your comments sound a bit Taoist.

I do not believe interventions against the trend work, full stop

For better or worse (I have some doubts about the US interventions in the balkans.. certainly the one in Kosovo) it certainly worked in Bosnia and Kosovo with minimal cost for the interventionists.

Africa could probably use a few interventions (Congo, southern Sudan in the 90s, Rwanda, Darfur now, etc..) but that seems to be out of the cards. No commies or imperialists to fight, no pleasant cafes or hotels for the Western reporters.. alas... I think Nietzsche had some apt comments about unseen deaths in Africa that still apply today.
