How do you draw the line at huminatarian involvement? What happens when we are involved from a humanitarian standpoint with the people of an oppressed nation and then at some point it comes down to a military coup/intervention/what have you? We then just pack up and leave?

And what do we mean by "humanitarian" anyway?

What about when our own interests (mostly economic) are affected? Like in Guatemala (I think it was Guatemala) back in the 1950s. Where do we draw the line on involvement?
