interventionism based on moral principles is indeed a noble idea

I'm going to disagree with you here. I don't think the government has any place to intervine where moral principles are concerned for the simple reason that they are then forcing the morality of one group onto another. I don't find that justifiable.

Even CS Lewis said that "those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Now I will grant that this is a slightly different situation from most where morality is concerned so I may be off track, but I still believe each country should be able to run itself the way it sees fit whereas it does not interfere with the US.
