Let me reply for him. Perhaps we have reached the point where we won't tolerate evil actions. Are you suggesting just because we haven't acted in the past we should not act now?.

BP, based on Brezinski's comments (Former NSA advisor) he commented on Tibet, Chenchnia (didn't spell that right), and Rawanda:
Essentially he said NATO in-action in these scenarios was because of:
(not that I agree with this)...

1. NATO force proximity.
- NATO did not have forces/bases within a proxmity that would allow an attack for the above

2. Future consequences on NATO nations for inaction.
- The above situations don't directly impact security or economics of of NATO nations

3. Consequences of involvement
- of course in Tibet this would ignite a war with China.

This still doesn't explain Cambodia and your other points.
