The you will be fighting wars worldwide.

And you will need to talk to Washington, because we support dictators and racists. Japan is fairly racist, and Israel certainly is, that's two- there are many many more (Let's start with every country in the ME). As for Dictators! Whew, let me tell you, we've supported a bunch.

Do you have moral problems with Washington supporting dictators and racists? Or do you only have a problem with dictators and racists when your country focuses on one, for purposes of misdirection?

If you want to advance a moral argument, you'd better try to make it consistent, otherwise you look like a hypocrite. So when we try to make Saddam out as a really bad guy for killing Kurds now, that's hard to square with the fact that we thought he was our "friend" when we were giving him US cash and kissing him in the past, and he was killing Kurds then (and we knew it).
