Yes, is the answer to your first question. History has shown that you would stand idly by. Kosovo is a prime example with out our leadership you would have let the genocide continue. Perhaps you should be equally as critical of the US for our intervention in your back yard. Further, we have seen other cases where the very word genocide was not used in order to avoid the necessity for force. The truth is that you have and will give up one another to protect your own skin. Honestly it often seems that the British are the only one among you who will stand on principal.
In answer to your second question. Yes, you have two premises and a conclusion thus a logical argument. I know you are an ESL guy so just add the conjunction ‘and’ to the sentence so that we can avoid this fallacy.

Lothar,
It seems that we are diverging from the main issue here that is your question, and it seems evident that you're tyring to funnel this issue leading it to a military action. Well Democracy isn't incompatible with military actions (as in forging one) but the decision of establishing a democracy belongs to the people and not to the military,that is to say it's a political decision (wider meaning of this word) and not a military one.
As for the Britains being the principal, this headline hasn't any bearing at all on this issue by the way -

As for the Kosovo, you're right, there shouldn't be any need for the U.S. to intervene in there, should the European states be more cohesive, that has been and allways be the doom of Europe, and it shows the need more than ever to have a joint army composed of all the E.U. states.
The question is: does the U.S. sees it with good eyes?
