The Power of Footage "I am glad that you have shot this footage. And that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene." - Paul Rusesabagina
When Military Intervention is Appropriate "There are times when military intervention on the part of the United States is appropriate, especially when up against an ideology or religion that justifies killing in its name." - Jan Ting
The Uncertainty of Predicting the Future It is difficult to predict the future and determine whether military intervention will lead to better outcomes. Looking back, it may seem like certain interventions were successful, but we cannot be sure if alternative paths would have yielded similar results. The judgment of history is not always clear-cut.
'Assuming' Isn't Good Enough "Assuming" that an intervention will be worth it is not sufficient justification for taking action. Clear evidence of significant benefits should be present before engaging in military operations. Even seemingly easy cases can have unforeseen consequences, as seen in past conflicts such as the U.S.'s defense of Kuwait against Iraq.
