The world has changed, and "the Western world" - even if it functioned as a single entity, which it doesn't - no longer has the capacity to impose its will on everybody else whenever it chooses to do so, or to decree and enforce rules on what others may or may not do. Acknowledging that reality requires a bit of courage, of course, along with a bit of realism.
Leaping into action with a plan that has a minimal chance of success and a very high probability of adverse unintended consequences crosses the frequently vague line between courage and stupidity.
What, by the way, is "the easy way"?
