I'm not sure whether any of the people commenting here recognise what hypocritical double standards are being demonstrated.

I uphold decent standards, you use social pressure, they bully.

... military force 'restores' nothing much by itself, but the right amount of military force applied at the right time in the right way can create the security situation whereby other non-military objectives can be achieved by non-military agencies and resources
