You really are a foreign policy novice aren't you?
So we send in troops, and forcible take over the country for a few weeks to give out supplies? We come into a conflict with their government, blow up a few things, give some collateral damage, and then leave without doing anything?
Oh yes! I'm sure countries, governments, and citizens just love it when you invade their country, blow ****** up, then leave without fixing it.

  Who said anything about blowing stuff up? Or taking over the country? In fact, I think I specifically said DON'T blow anything up and DON'T take over, didn't I? Lemme check......yes, that's correct: "don't depose the leaders, don't bomb the utilities." The idea is to THREATEN to bomb them, not to ACTUALLY bomb them. Although it seems you can't ascribe much common sense or intelligence to those fools, it would be hard to believe they wouldn't take such a threat seriously. They aren't THAT far from Iraq.
  On the other hand, if you want to lobby in favor of simply letting the common folk there suffer because they are under the control of a bunch of military junta fools, I'll concede that it may be a valid position.

    Read your own comments.
    "COUNTERACT the idiocy of the fools currently in charge over there" ..."stay out of the way or get bombed to oblivion."
    If that isn't taking over a country...
    And also, if they get in the way they get bombed? Bombing tends to blow stuff up.

      Apparently it doesn't matter much what I write, you are going to INTERPRET it however suits you. Perhaps you should be a candidate for the supreme court?
