You bear no responsibility for watching your neighbor beat his child until the child dies, but doing nothing to stop it? Really?

Sure I do. But it would take me mere minutes to pick up the phone and/or grab a gun.

Dissolving one international coalition, organizing another, establishing a new charter, reassigning resources, and moving the entire area of operations into another country is quite another story with a long timetable. Hey, I'm sure GHWB feels even worse than you or I do about the atrocities that occurred. And his administration did take action eventually (establishing the no-fly zones, one at a time). But hindsight is great. The administration started reacting within days, but the damage was done very quickly. Unfortunately.
