I agree with you, but historically it makes sense. Up till after WW2, international law never allowed interference in another country's "internal affairs." It was considered an invasion of sovereignty. With the advent of international human rights, this is changing, but slowly. In the early 1900s, this was the way it was even between States within the US. I'm happy its changing but there are legitimate fears of overstepping.
