And yet why should it fall squarely on our government to do something? That is a problem I seriously have with most of the countries in the UN. The UN literally wrote the list of human rights, yet hardly do anything to enforce them. Meanwhile many of them criticize America for this that and the other. As I said-most countries either do nothing, or not enough to ensure everyone gets their rights. Again, if it were up to me, I would be trying to enforce those rights on the countries that violate them. But it isn't up to me.
On the contrary, the way the United States intervenes would be forbidden (or to call those interventions by its real name - imperialist conquests with all the spoils of war, as Trump puts it, very honestly). Not to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign states, but to insist on a UN charter, at UN gatherings, with the agreement of UN members, not as has been happened with Kosovo, for example, when NATO, without the approval of the UN Security Council has bombed (latest) Yugoslavia, and then this act has justified by humanitarian intervention (which was otherwise a precedent in UN history).

And yes, dman, I am sad and pissed off and will always be, not only because of Kosovo, but all ex YU, because I do know, what we had and will never have again, because we stayed on the way of your and your allies' imperialist plans. And no, not so sad and pissed off to stay forever (in my minds) in those times, I am living in the present, but I am not blind and mute and I will always say my opinion.
