We should not misconstrue recent interventions in domestic affairs by the international community including the UN to restore the will of the people as isolated cases. These are well-thought through policy to send a message to tyrants that the game has changed and there is a new boss in town who takes no prisoners!
Global stakeholders have eventually learned that what happens in Ivory Coast eg. affects the national interest of the US--just imagine the UN leading a preemtive bombing campaign in Ivory Coast to avoid humanitarian crisis.
Notwithstanding all the conspiracy theories critics offer to discredit such actions, its power of signalling tyrants around the world that their days are numbered cannot be second-guessed.
