We tried to avoid it once during the GW1 time-frame when the WEU said they would handle it as we took care of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait - then the UN got involved and together they f***ed it up so bad we had to eventually step in a couple of years later, anyway, and are still there - yet another one of those pol-mil tarbabies we seem to stumble upon with more regularity than I'd like to think is necessary. In spite of the posturing and the press, the USA is considered to be the only 'honest broker' in that hood's realty market - for whatever that may be worth.
And so it goes...
