Did I just stop by DU and find people PUSHING for war against Syria?

16. No, they were what USUALLY happens.

There is no unchallengeable proof that things only got better in Kosovo and Bosnia(and it's not clear they really got that much better)because of Western bombing.

It's time to retire the Kosovo thing as a vindication of war. Even if it did some good in that situation, it's not applicable to much of any possible future situation.

Given that war always turns this country further and further right, why on earth would anyone with even liberal values still see it as something worth trying to rehabilitate.

Intervention is always people from outside a country coming in and blowing that country to shit. Given how seldom anything good comes of that, why even bother trying to defend it? The odds are always deeply against war making anything better for the vast majority of the children of the earth.

Furthermore, can we even be sure that U.S. bombing would have HELPED anything in Rwanda? Isn't it just as likely that outside intervention would have made all the Hutus "rally 'round the flag" and possibly kept the regime that was murdering the Tutsis in power?
