Pardon my cynicism, but where were the calls for intervention when Bahrain's autocrat asked in their fellow monarchs, the Saudis, to help them put down their revolt? Where were the calls of outrage, for that matter, back when Putin was bombing Grozny to rubble or when Armenia expelled 1 million Azeris from Azerbaijan or when the Russians were fighting in South Ossetia?
Instead the intervention, like in 1899 and 2003 is supposedly "benevolent" but in reality it's not a humanitarian venture. Never has been, never will be.
