This is more a argument of isolationism vs interventionism.   Which is more an argument of ethics.   Do you not think the strong should stick up for the weak when they are being abused?

I do, but in some situations it is better to not intervene. This is one of thos situations. I'm against the ideea of nation A invading nation B and changing the government etc., because nation A doesn't think things in nation B are going OK. This is always because in all cases nation A is simply following it's own interest, not the interest of nation B (like the US supporting all kinds of regimes that in no way help the people in those countries). It's the responsability of the citizens of nation B to make sure thigs go OK over there, and if they feel abused they should do something about it and they can do something about it if they stop being scared).

Should we allow grown men to abuse their families, just because it takes place within their home?

A bad example. Those grown men are citizens of a particular country, and they need to obey the laws of said country. Just because the home is supposed to theoretically be a private space, it is also part of society, and most of society's laws still apply there (like those regarding physical violence, murder etc.). There's no higher entity that creates laws that need to be followed by nations as a whole. In other words you can't say that there's something wrong with the way a particualar nation treats it's citizens, by comapring it to another nation. If you do that's essentially ethnocentrism, which is simply wrong. One day when there will be a single world state this will no longer be a problem.

Sure, we may have to draw the line of where we stop intervening.   It can be at the country line.  The question still exist, is it right to let others suffer when you could stop it?

Read my above post.

Im not saying we should get involved, but when america does not come to the aid, it also gets blamed.  Ie, Gerogia, and Iran during their elections.

That's your country's own fault. If you start an interventionist policy people will be expecting you to entervene all the time, and in all situations. Of course what many don't realise is that your country doesn't practice interventionalism for any moral reason, but for fulfilling your own interest (see all of your countrie's immoral practices).
