That's because you're a pessimist, Min. 
I, however, refuse to give credence to the notion that we shouldn't intervene between people and despots, because people might get hurt...or it might cost us an arm and a leg. I'm sure that despots, for their part, find this argument very compelling. In fact, it seems to be their universal MO. The contention that resistance to them makes us responsible for both what they've done and what they will do to their own people or other people.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
