Personally, I'd be all for a set of elite assassins to go in there, clear out the riff-raff, free those poor people, and get the job done with a minimum of hoo-ha. I doubt the US would stand for that, though...maybe I'm wrong about that. Based on this country's history, they'd probably prefer an all-out show of force. I hope they (we) realize that this is a different scenario with different players.
