Africa would me much harder to justify and be successful at.

Iraq violated international law, violated previous surrendering provisions, and was a general threat to its neighbors (though the degree of threat was wrong in hind-sight).

With Africa you are dealing with PURELY humanitarian reasons to send in armed forces (Which IS NOT supported under the U.N. charter for reasons to go to war). Under the U.N. charter the only way to legitimize a war in Africa to prevent genocide is to get a resolution for war passed by the U.N... and in the U.N.'s entire history it has only approved of 2 out of the 150ish wars fought (before the wars took part). The other way that a country can justify war under the U.N. charter is with Self-defense or "collective" self-defense.

Plus in africa much of the killing is purely civil war type killing. As in, the Rwanda killings being 2 sides just taking turns murdering each other. Those are the HARDEST types of killings to stop.

So it is easier to say we should stop the african genocides before middle east problems, but international law and world security make the other wars easier to sell (over purely moral justification).
