When was it clear to allies to enter WWII?

Should we have waited for the rule of law there too?

I agree we should disengage from the nation building nonsense Bush and Obama got into, but when Pol Pot copy cats come along, root them out.

Probably not the best example. The "free countries" did nothing about the Khmer Rouge and it was left to post-unification Vietnam to invade Cambodia and clean up the mess.

Vietnam was then sanctioned for its aggressive invasion of a sovereign nation..
