I'm meaning recent military intervention.

there hasn't been any recent military intervention, in fact, actually the past few years have had the west WITHDRAW from the middle east and africa.

SO you are saying it's the LACK of military intervention in the past few years that is the problem? you want us to go BACK to war?

Hand-wringers always try to lay the blame for everything at the feet of the West when in reality, Africa and the middle east, like you say, has been a bloodbath for years... decades... centuries.
