No, unfortunately we cannot expect to see such events. One reason is that too many nations--not just the US, mind you--lack the cajones to do what needs to be done in various places in the world. Another reason is that even if several nations banded together to liberate an oppressed people, then some other nations would whine about that action as "aggressive" or "unilateral" or "non-democratic".
