For the moment , let's drop the international legal terms and deal with basic humanity.

I don't feel it's an impostion to help people who want to be free. Freedom is man's natural state, and I feel that free nations have a moral obligation to help unfree people become free. It wasn't very long ago that liberals believed this as well.
