Good point, but why only Iraq? Double standards?
“Better double standards than no standards?”, as I used to say in confronting bad leaders in former Yugoslavia. The fact that it alas is not possible to scale back all the world’s revolting dictators does not make action against one of them to free millions of people wrong or hypocritical. To argue in that banal, idiotic way merely encourages said dictators and demoralises their victims, who are looking to us to help them.
