We're supposed to all look away

According to Liberal ethics, this is a-okay.

If you get a chance, read more about Swaziland. Aside from having the world's highest HIV/AIDS ratio and being one of the poorest nations on the planet, Swaziland is well known for its King's odd orders. For example, a few years ago he made it illegal to have sex. He also likes to get married about once every year - always to someone under 20 it seems. He also has a taste for expensive cars. Anyway, suffice to say that Swaziland is one screwed up and backward place.

So, why does the Western world do nothing about this? Would it be so wrong to send a bunch of guys with guns there, take over the royal palace, and declare the country a Canadian or a US protectorate?

I'm sure the people of Swaziland won't mind. They are dying while their king is stealing their money and raping their daughters. Instead, our governments continue to send aide to Swaziland which the King uses to solidify his power, jail opposition leaders, buy fancy cars, and marry a few more teenagers.
