ace, is it more humanitarian to do nothing while people are slaughtered?
You aren't talking about whether something is humanitarian or not; you are talking in degrees.
But I imagine you are a proponent of total war and unconditional defeat over more balanced measures. You'd rather have seen boots on the ground. You'd rather have seen another Afghanistan.
I don't think that's a one-size-fits-all solution. Correct me if any of this is off the mark.
