Exactly. It's the proverbial woman who gets raped in the ally while the people in the apartments above do nothing about it, not even call the cops.
This is one of the reasons why US or Britain are quick to be blamed when they call other engagements a police action...
Why Bosnia and not Rwanda? etc...
And no, we shouldn't go into every single country all at once, but when the body count reaches that high, it's the responsibility of the world community to stop it by all means necessary regardless of the cause.
If it's an AIDS empedemic, send in doctors, medicines and retro-viral drugs, if it's genocide, send in peace keepers...
Our role in the world should not be to micro-manage issues in countries, but rather to curb problems when that get way out of control.
