Germany already cares.
Problem is, what can we (the western world) do? From what I read so far we are already quick to label one side of the conflict as "the evil" and the other as "the good. This is, as always, way too easy and simple.
I don't think that the west has enough "material" (germany has already troops in at least two other nations, and our army is officially a defence army and rather small!) and knowledge about the conflict to achieve a solution.
