I think countries are not willing to act on Iraq case because there was not sufficient prior consensus reached on the action undertaken. And I don't think there exists an agreed international principle that says the international community should act together towards removal of the totalitarian (or even auhtoritarian) government in any given country. Not to mention an internationally adopted mechanism how to do that. These things should be in place first, I guess.
