(The world ignored us) Example Syria right now, the people are screaming for international intervention. I saw an interview with one saying "Where is America". Same was said in Iraq when Saddam ruled. Then if America (Western World) comes in to help really quickly it turns into "Foreign invader" or "Crusader"? |
Errr... why do you think of the people like they all are sharing the single opinion? It's a bit more complex than that, you know, it's not like the whole country was asking for help and then suddenly changed the tune and now it cries "go awaaaay".
And there are several aspects of this, actually. Most obvious one, people who are asking for help are at the minority. It's natural thing for the majority of population to be strongly against any invasion and turning their homeland into a battleground. Please note, those people don't even have to be pro-covernment for this, they just love their country and want peace in it. But also there are some people who do support their government. Even in Lybia and their fucking Kadafi, there is strong support. Crazy people are coming to form live shields, someone formed a pro-commies militia, and so on. Kadafi supporters prolly count more than a million, imagine that? And militia formed from his supporters jumped into bloody action, the regular army even has to keep them in line besides fighting the rebels, lulz. That's how crazy it is.
Now, back to rebelling minority. They are very very vocal at this point (before invasion). While the majority is more calm and thus they are silent. The democratic media starts translating those voices who against their state accros the globe as it's good way to form public opinion that military operation is needed and it's part of their job after all. We see all those unhappe people who are really upset with their states and thus want to act.
So, the intervention is borught in, the previous rulers are took down and punished, everything is fine. Now those people who patriotic or just wanted piece in their country are angered and so it's their turn to be vocal. As new political race is started, it also could be that rebels now try to distant them from the invasion forces or even turn their voice to anti-american for political scores.
Not only those voices appeared they also tend to be heard, because as previous order was delivered now the democratic press is seeking for new job. And as tax payers in homeland start feeling weight of military operatons and also some political forces see this as opportunity to gain weight, the rhetorics against the invasion is becoming very much loud as expected after the war was put actually in place.
So I think motives are pretty transparent here and the whole situation which suprised you is quite natural actually.
