It's absurd that the past century of American foreign policy has conditioned us to associate humanitarian intervention with military aid. I also think that realistically there's very little we can do. The main non-military option is economic sanctions. That just ensures that the people being killed can starve to death first. Perhaps that leads to a revolution, but that seems like kind of a cruel way to go about things.
