...but dismisses "humanitarian intervention"

Reacting with fury to news that the Wantuni Hegemony massacred 14 million Kalopians, Father Vladan Martinek stood up at his church pulpit yesterday morning to issue an astonishing denunciation of the Wantunis:
Mark my words, Boh will not leave the Wantunis unpunished for this! Parnum the Thunderer will hear the prayers of the good Hosian Kalopians who have suffered, and he will turn on their persecutors with great anger and vengeance! As the Scripture says, "Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it".
Later in the day, a news reporter asked him whether he agreed with those who are calling for "humanitarian intervention" against Wantuni. Martinek was hesitant for some moments, then said he would support an invasion of Wantuni "under the right circumstances" and then, when pushed further, clarified that "humanitarian intervention is not a good enough reason to go to war, it has to be the will of Boh". Analysts believe he is reluctant to endorse the principle of humanitarian intervention in case an attempt is made to apply it to Deltaria, a nation notorious for human rights abuses. Father Martinek, although arguably a liberal by Deltarian standards, shares the same attitude towards "meddling by outsiders" as his fellow countrymen.
