Bombing things until they got the right to vote wasn't peaceful or legal when the suffragettes did it. If asking politely didn't work, there's no reason to think that asking politely but in a different place will fare any better.
So you're going to fight genocides and promote peace with bombs and killing people?
Makes no sense. You're insane, bro.
That worked pretty effectively in the 1940s, whereas asking the Nazis politely not to invade Poland was completely useless.
True, sometimes, you have to fight fire against fire.
But it should be the last option.
I think peace and diplomacy should always be the priority in any situation.
