I don't like to enter into these debates but this raises an interesting question. What are some of the Eskimo solutions to this problem? I think we all agree that sanctions will do little to nothing and that the peaceful marches seem to be headed towards riots/imprisonment, so what does that leave us? And more specifically, what should the U.S. do about it, since we will be looked upon to provide some type of resolution. If the U.S. does nothing, peaceful protesters will most likely continue to be killed but if we come in with force, we will be scorned for creating more violence. It seems like such a Catch-22.
