Well that's pretty much our MO since...well almost forever. It's a farce, really. The West had an unique chance to actually help rebels in the fight they started on their own to topple a dictator. And this fight is actually supported by the muslim world because it originated within the country (rather than the US/NATO "policing" countries where they are not welcomed). But of course the diplomacy had cups of tea to drink first with their pinky out while civilians were being slaughtered...
