Troops out of Narnia now

So the idea is: let's take a group of basically nice if rather self-centred kids from a peaceful, affluent country, give them vastly superior weaponry, and send them off to intervene in the convoluted politics and civil wars of a far-off, ancient nation, about whose history, culture and society they know nothing. And I'm sure it'll all end up fine. They'll be welcomed as liberators! Doesn't happen. In fact, decades later, they're still trying to sort out the mess their previous interventions made. And every time they knock down this month's bad guy another one pops up. The Narnia books are basically a metaphor for the war in Afghanistan.
