The term, "quiet escalation" isnt generally applied to peacekeeping, but that seems to be what is happening here. Its difficult for other countries to support the US in this endeavor because of national sovereignty issues that apply to so many of our partners and even allies. But gradual escalation of peacekeeping, especially if we remain primarily a logistical partner, might be more palatable to the global community, which does want to see something positive happen, it just doesn't know what. It is truly time for the US to return to the leadership role in these sorts of affairs.
