5. Perhaps that's because neither ideology be it neocon nor liberal interventionist is strong enough
by themselves and as they're on opposite ends of the political social spectrum, cooperating in public is exceedingly difficult so in order bring the realists on board, national interest must be invoked.

Rwanda and Sudan didn't meet that threshold because they don't have essential resources ie: oil and/or they're not on NATO's border ie: the former Yugoslavia.
