I'm sorry that I even have to divulge this to you, someone who has actually been in place there, but making a place "look like" it would [be] a decent place to live again, is not the same as guaranteeing a lasting peace in an otherwise very volatile region. The real solution is much more complicated, and requires much more time and actions that have not been undertaken - and cannot be done by an outside factor, even if it tried very hard. The solutions usually come from within.
Military action has seldom been the best solution in complex situations like these, they only tend to aggravate things more, bring old grudges to the surface where they didn't appear to exist, or dig new holes where they indeed never existed - and the last few years have shown this yet again. By the way, playing the blame game is not a solution, either. Sadly, from what I'm seeing, this seems to be the main occupation at your side of the conveniently large ocean, lately.
