As well as torturing and murdering his population, you forgot to mention cruelty to cute puppies and kittens and lickle babbies (just in case your question wasn't emotive enough). 
" then are you putting international approval above the actions of the dictator and the suffering of his population?" Nice slanted black/white statement - my answer would be (again) that I am putting International Law above meddling in the internal affairs of a country (but as you've stated, you don't need no steenkin' international law). Or should we invade Zimbabwe and North Korea as well, then pick on China when we are finished? |
It was actually a question, do you believe that with the answers to 1 and 2 that you have given, that you have put international approval above the actions of the dictator and the suffering of his population?
Afterall, with your answer to 2, you believe that international law relies on the approval of the majority of the UN.

We as in members of the international coalition who agreed on the action being taken.
