re: Consistency of policy is overrated...
I can't help all the starving people in the world, but that shouldn't stop me from helping those few that I can help.
Maybe it is impossible for the US to stop all human rights abuses, but if it was completely within our power to stop them in Iraq, then we not only should have stopped them, but in my opinion, we had the moral obligation to stop them.
If the ROW says we are inconsistant in our foreign policy because we can't stop all abuses everywhere, then so be it.
Maybe someday Iraq will return the favor and stop the abuse of human rights in one of its neighbors for us.
That's gotta really scare Iran doesn't it.
