So this happened.

"Help the rebels!!!"

Wait, no...

"Help the regime!!!"

"err...come on guys! Why aren't you helping? Why do you expect us to do all the work?"

I see this argument a lot. Why does the world expect the USA to manage all of that annoying killing and bombing and stuff? We don't, well we expect you to do it but it's more like, "yep, the US will be bombing people again soon, best get the clean up crew ready and save who we can" than "YAAYYYYY!!!! The Americans are going to kill all of these people we don't like for us!!!!" I mean, we couldn't possibly not want to go to war because we just don't see a good enough reason, that would be absurd.

No one else wants to do it, nor take the blame after the fact, and it's always nice to have a scapegoat comparison. "Oh, they're just a bunch of warmongers" etc etc.

Especially when you've got someone else to pay the bill.
