#2 Yeah, but if you do that it's much cheaper, you don't lose any face, don't give away capabilities to the enemy, not so many civilians die, ....

#5 United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 'authorises all necessary means to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas, except for a "foreign occupation force"'.
