I've said it before:
Not our backyard.
The powers on that side of the pond are fully capable of taking this on themselves. If they refuse, its their failing. The impetus is on them, not us. Unless someone can find some new excuse for them I haven't heard yet that can sufficiently excuse them from action and let them sit on their asses some more, waiting for us to handle it?
In years past I probably would have been more gung-ho. After being shat on for a decade or so, I've developed this amazingly powerful middle-finger-in-air reflex. Probably for the better.
