By "a more isolationist culture", I meant the hypothetical in which another country sought to prevent us from intervening in the matters of a country with gross, culturally-accepted human rights violations. But you weren't necessarily arguing for taking action against an interventionist culture and my comment was already kind of a tangent from the OP - Italy can handle this on its own - so to tie it back to the OP: it's not only morally permissible for the Italian government to interfere in their value system, it's morally essential.
I don't *think* you were disagreeing with that. I'd just add that I wouldn't limit such intervention to internal atrocities.
