Is Intervention the answer to GEN-O-CIDE?

          Regions like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda, Burundi, and Chechnya, Russia are currently threatened by genocide. The regions need substantial help right now trying to defeat those rebels and extremists who try to overthrow the government. But the question is should powerful countries like the US intervene with the genocide occurring in these countries? I think that it depends on the situation, if the problem is not as big than, the US and other powerful countries can intervene. Indeed, other countries view the U.S. as an outstandingly dominant power of state. When people in other countries, which are less powerful, hear of the United States they think of it as a great power who supervises the whole world. People in smaller countries think of the great American dream. The U.S. is very powerful, but this is a stereotypical statement. I don't believe that the United States is as powerful as people convey it to be. The U.S. does have the power to intervene, but how will it benefit the U.S., if something goes wrong. The consequences that the U.S. will have to deal with are large. I believe that countries should figure out a way to fix and manage there own problems without the help from the United States. For example, in the occurring situation right now in Libya where the people are trying to overthrow the dictator. And countries like the U.S. are trying to evacuate the many Americans who are stranded in Libya. The reason being in case the situation becomes worse, we want to keep our people safe and at home. If the U.S. is wanting for Americans to be safe because of a genocide issue, then they should intervene in the conflicts. I think the U.S. and other countries do have the power to intervene, but this topic is so controversial that it should be dealt in a very delicate and careful manner.
