Wasn't that the early stance for many nations when Hitler invaded Poland. One wonders how many lives would have been saved if the world would have intervened before Hitler began his campaign. Germany was in violation of conditions they were given after the first World War concerning building up of their military but, the world sat back.

Another way of looking at it is that the conditions placed on Germany after the first World War are what led to German aggression later. The one thing history has taught us is that it is easier to avoid a problem by removing the conditions that cause it, than having to deal with it head-on through violence and war.
This is why the War on Terrorism is so ill-conceived. War is a condition that begets terrorism. You can't defeat a tactic with a war when that tactic is a result of war (as well as poverty).
