And the fallout continues.

If repeated enough, this could well make military intervention more likely, with China and Russia abstaining in the UN Security Council.  

Somehow I don't think Obama and Cameron are all gung ho about yet *another* war involving a Middle Eastern oil-rich dictatorship.

Perhaps not, but events will eventually force their hand. We are currently using the Chinese, the Russians, and the United Nations as convenient excuses for us not having to intervene.  As one cover after another is stripped away by this regime that almost seems intent on forcing the United States in getting militarily involved, we're going to have face that possibility no matter how reluctant we are.  

They will still have a choice. The idea that the US (with UK as its sidekick) is somehow obligated to act as the worlds policeman and solve all global crisis situations is rather bizarre.
