Don't let zonder trap you into agreeing with his rhetorical argument that if we "regime change" one despot, we have to "regime change" them all

"Her", please.

If there were any intellectual honesty in circles where it is widely believed that the "regime change" in Iraq was to save the world of a brutal tyrant, yes, one would expect the US not to stop with just one tyrant. If brutal tyrants are a "bad thing" and the world is better off without them, and the military intervention is worth it, intellectual honesty demands the consistent application of the same principles.

But of course as we all know, "saving the world from a brutal tyrant" was not the reason for this invasion, hence why it will not be repeated elsewhere to save the poor suffering people of other countries.
