No one, but I'm not sure what the relevance is? We don't have to be the king of anything to try and use what we have...and that others don't...to help them.
Don't get me wrong, we can choose not to intervene....but I think that it's important that we don't offer convenient rationalizations for doing so. It's not that we can't or couldn't help and that nothing will ever work and that the people of the middle east are fundamentally barbaric. Maybe we just don't want to anymore. It's expensive, and really hard.
We're not holding back the red right hand for their own good. No good can come of watching a government execute it's people, for example. We're doing it to diminish our own malaise at the expense of whatever good we could have done.

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!
