... Are you trolling, Justinian?  X(

... And?

... Is that seriously an argument?  I'll respond if it is, but if you're just trolling, cut it the hell out... because it definitely sounds like trolling.

That guy needs so many estorms that the estorm insurance industry pretty much collapses overnight.

Probably not. 

You do realize that is a WAY higher standard than any current legal requirement for legislation, secular or otherwise?  Hell... what piece of legislation DOESN'T interfere with civil rights, considering that the US recognizes such rights as the right to property?

Still to vote: Zarf_BeebleBrix

All was looking bleak in Kokiri.  It had only been 2 days, and now not only was their hero Link gone, but now the beloved princess Zelda had also been killed.  The only one that seemed to be enjoying himself was Zarf_Beeblebrix.  He had amassed quite the collection of goodies from all the victims.  Shaking the water off, he walked over to his heavy bag of masks and odd potions and added the heavy boots he had just fished off Link.  He shouldered his pack and climbed up to the roof overlooking the scene in town.
All trust in the town had been lost.  People were staying in their homes with the doors locked and windows shuttered, doing their best to keep an eye on all the Cuccos.  Everyone was locked away, except for dpenguins, who was still laying in the middle of down covered in his own piss.  No one was quite sure if he was still alive or not, and nobody was willing to walk out and check.
Finally, EvilRunt walked out of his house and started yelling that somebody had to die.  He went from door to door collecting opinions, and as he went a mob began to form.  They came to  wiwi's door, and knew that they were the one that had to die today.  Dragging them screaming and clawing to the middle of town, they strapped as many bombs as they could do him/her, and ran for cover.  Zarf giggled from his roof, as wiwi was blown to smithereens.
wiwi the Townie is now dead

Korea: China walked in first.  No need to step in and defend your friend when your southern neighbor can be your meat shield.
Egypt in Yom Kippur war: Small shit, relatively speaking.
Serbia: Yeltsin Administration.  Yeltsin was a much closer ally of the West than Putin.
Libya: Now this one's interesting.  See, one of Russia's major interests in Syria is the fact that Russia can have access to a Mediterranean Sea port.  In the case of Libya, Russia could have easily said "ah, screw it.  We still have Syria."  Well... now Syria's up for grabs, and this time, there's not as simple an "eh, it's alright, we still have ______" as there was during Libya.

Three words:

Mutually
Assured
Destruction.

Okay, let me explain that:

Russia can't exactly ditch an ally and let them die.  Russia is trying to amass allies for its own protection, similar to how the US has aligned itself with Europe as a mutual defense cooperative.  In the case of states like Syria, they provide small satellites to expand Russian influence, particularly in naval force projection.  Syria is kind of important to the Russians, then.

More importantly, the domino theory in diplomatic relations still applies.  If Russia were to sit back and let the rebels overtake Syria, existing Russian allies would lose confidence in the fact that Russia would assist them if needed.  So Russia would look like a pretty bad ally in their eyes, and they'd be more inclined to seek alternative alliances (i.e., US/Europe, or anyone but Russia).  Russia can't have that.

Yes, we would probably curbstomp Russia if they thought to militarily intervene.  The Russians know that.  The US knows that.  However, if Russia did decide to intervene and defend its ally, the country has one, and only one, choice which would allow them to even the battlefield: tactical nuclear weapons targeted at forces in Syria.  That is a level of military escalation nobody wants to go into, but in the case of Russia, they may perceive that they have as much to lose by losing their credibility as an ally as they do from looking batshit crazy for using a tactical nuclear weapon.

The UN didn't confirm crap.  It was a US report.
