That's certainly true to some extent. But sometimes the right thing to do is to not get involved. In the Great Lakes Refugee Crisis[1] Medecins Sans Frontieres and other private aid groups pulled out when they realized that their money was going to buy guns for Rwandan Génocidaires. But the UN thought they had a mandate to help refugees no matter what and in the end we had the Congolese Civil Wars which were much, much worse than the refugee crisis could possibly have gotten on its own. You can say that they weren't foreseeable and I'd agree but it's easy to imagine the Hutu forces managing to retake Rwanda and finish their genocide, for example.
