COIN case: LRA Lords Resistance Army

Hat tip to Abu M for a comment on those who advocate the USA taking an active role in hunting the LRA: http://www.cnas.org/blogs/abumuqawam...-really-bad-id

A linked blog has some more comments and intriguing information:http://tachesdhuile.blogspot.com/201...rt-i-when.html and then a more recent post:http://tachesdhuile.blogspot.com/201...al-africa.html

From which I cite:

However, Ex is absolutely right to use Kilcullen's four questions as a starting point:

There are four questions we should ask when considering whether or not the United States should engage in an international intervention:

1. Will an intervention make the situation better, or worse?

2. If better, should the U.S. government participate in this intervention?

3. If yes, should the U.S. government lead this intervention?

4. If yes, what should the U.S. government do?

But both Ex and those who've rallied around him have continued to use strawmen arguments and inaccurate assertions to avoid actually addressing these questions.

The arguments then continue.

My own personal question is why is the USA the only power seen as able to intervene?
