For once I agree with you on something. From what I hear after Gaddafi was toppled, Mali mercenaries working for him took Libyan weapons and went back to Mali and helped to rejuvenate the rebellion against the government, and we see how that's turning out. So I think that we should respect the law of unintended consequences and quit engaging in short sighted altruism.

Batlord, not only did the mercenaries returning from Libya destablize an area larger than Texas, but they actually changed the nature of the rebellion itself. Here's a link to a good article on the subject.
