24. I've seen the video of the "rebels fighting." They're mostly unarmed.
I'm sorry but I don't buy this bullshit that the rebels are "combatants" and that they shouldn't "count" because of that. It's obscene when given the context.

You also didn't answer the question, you completely diverted. You are effectively saying that once a lot of people start dying (be it civil war or what) that interference shouldn't be done.

You're advocating military interference in a situation where few people have died.

It's sickening.

But to be clear if the UNSC votes for such a thing in Yemen or Bahrain I would be against the US vetoing it.
