I think all those governments should offer their services. However, it should be with the permission of the Nigerian government and possibly added oversight by the UN.
in most of these cases however, there is not a valid government in place to authorize such a thing. if there is, they wouldn't want outside interference. the interests of the people would take a back seat to government interests.
you also need an organization everyone trusts to come in, provide security, and get out. the UN is mostly useless.
if you can't solve your problems, who do you trust ?

Originally posted by ZahlanziThe UN is mostly useless because the interests of the people take a back seat to government interests. In this case, the biggest influence is by governments that have the largest stake in the UN.

A country like China for example, generally discourages interference in internal politics by the UN in other countries, because sanctioning such action would invite similar action against them.
The US, generally only wants to get involved if there is money to be made (oil for example) or political advantage to be had - anti-communism, or more recently a foot hold in the Far East.
Originally posted by twhiteheadYou think the corruption in the US is good enough reason for leaving these animals in Boko alone, let them and the cancer they represent, just go free and establish yet another repressive Islamist sharia law regime where women are third class citizens OWNED by their Islamic masters to do with what they please?
I fully agree that it would lead to more corruption (the US's recent wars have exhibited the worst corruption the world has ever seen), but I disagree that that is a good reason to not get involved.

Jesus referred to Genesis several times. Do you ignore that?
I can tell your heart really goes out to those girls.
Why Did Kidnapping Girls, but Not Burning Boys Alive, Wake Media Up to Boko Haram?
On February 25, between 40 and 59 children were killed by the fundamentalist militant group. Early that morning, Boko Haram terrorists attacked a boarding school and shot many of children, aged 11 to 18, while they slept. Some of the students were gunned down as they attempted to flee. Others had their throats slit. In some buildings, Boko Haram militants locked the doors and set the building alight. The occupants were burned alive.
All of the victims were boys.

Under the circumstances the girls are doing well.
Originally posted by sonhouseNo, I said the exact opposite.

Originally posted by SuzianneWell it is clear by now they are not going to be rescued. The Nigerian government is AFRAID of Boko since they are out manned and outgunned by this bunch of animals.
Wouldn't you say this is a "good" thing?
The only way help will arrive is through, obviously now, is through outside military intervention and that is not likely to be happening.
So the girls will be sold off as cattle to land barons 60 years old.
It's a disgusting situation all around.
