I believe in the defense of the innocent by any means necessary.

We should help them....but generally that help gets thrown in our faces at some point.
We helped Bin Laden with the Soviet occupation in Afghanistan, and yes it was in our interest theoretically speaking...but how did that work out?

Oh- I agree. The best laid plans of mice and men...
