The problem with that, and it's been revealed MANY times by history, is that if WE don't take the lead in stopping opression, who will??
DO you HONESTLY think France or Russia is going to take the lead in standing up to Iran?? In the end, we will have to do it, ALONE AGAIN, becasue the costs of NOT doing so, outweigh the costs of action.....
What history are your reading?
When and where has the US taken the lead in stopping opression?
