'Forceful Nonviolent Intervention'
Just taking a little LILEKS and running with it...
What is 'forceful nonviolence' anyway? Anyone want to define that for me?
Do economic sanctions qualify as 'forceful nonviolent intervention?'
You know, the kind we used against Iraq that proved to be so completely ineffective? No wait, I seem to remember a bunch of leftist protestors yammering about 30,000 deaths caused every month by the horrid effects of the economic sanctions. Guess that can't be 'forceful nonviolent intervention', now can it?
Or how about the Clinton Administrations policy towards North Korea,
where we all played the chumps and gave oil and food to a dictator, while he used it to feed his army and fuel his nuclear research program. Meanwhile his people continued to starve and die at the re-education camps. Nope, guess that doesn't qualify either.
Gee, could it be that 'forceful nonviolent intervention' is another one of those Leftist code phrases which means "Do Nothing To Protect Western Civilization Until It Is To Late To Save It From The Barbarian Hordes?"
Yup.
