If Shiicrapistan threatened Kurdicrapistan with nuclear annihilation, I'd sure feel bad about it. Wouldn't induce me to go over there and risk thousands of lives of my countrymen. Till you threaten me, it's not my business.

We're talking about a part of the world where the principal form of entertainment for the past several hundred years has been coming up with new and inventive ways to lower the lowest common denominator of human behavior. Putting a bandaid on a bullethole in a place that sincerely wants to exist in the 7th Century is not a long term solution.

I don't feel a moral duty to intervene in the dealings of third-world countries, nor do I feel a moral duty to burn the tax-dollars and lives of my fellow citizens sorting out other people's problems. You wanna pay for it, try and go fix it, be my guest. Try to make me go, try to make me pay for it, well, that's called tyranny. That's a Bad Thing.
