I would definitely think they are falling out with the 'Responsibility to Protect', it just is that the UN and countries have, unlike the Burmese government, the objective of helping the people. At the moment the emotional response is to wipe everything aside and do everything to get aid in, but that may not give the best result at this time.

Amen to that.
And for military intervention, I think the US was talking about it, but their resources are so stretched in Iraq that they gave up on another possible confrontation in Asia.
