Protecting the weak or protecting strong rebels?

I think it's the first time ever in all of history that a sovereign state has gone to the help of rebels fighting an unwanted regime without using the conflict to gain possession of a country.

This certainly is a good sign in human behavior even though there's no solid evidence that when the rebels take over the country eventually they will govern it any better or more democratically than the regime they toppled.

The important point to be learnt from this amazing help is that sovereign states, like France and America are helping people who have taken the initiative in rebelling agains a bad, cruel regime who has made them suffer.

There have been many cases of a population persecuted by its own government, naturally the persecution of the Jews during the 2nd world War is definitely the most blatant of all.

The holocaust is a glaring example that sovereign states don't help oppressed populations. Put another way it's not being oppressed that arouses action in sovereign states, no!!!! It's the rebelousness of the oppressed that arouses help from outside.

We have other examples of people being oppressed and nations don't help them from outside, e.g. Zambia under Robert Mugabe. According to reports I've heard thousands of people are being slaughtered by Mugabe and the world knows about it but does nothing.

We remember the millions slaughtered in Ruanda also.

Nations go to the help of people who rebel and who show that with a little help will succeed in toppling their oppressors.
