My main argument is that, while the U.S. has a responsibility to protect, it must not take rash action when it comes to launching a military intervention into another country. I argue that since human rights are a modern construct, and a nebulous one at that, they should not be used to justify an ill-advised campaign (particularly a unilateral one).
