Right. The political context made the use of chemical weapons OK to the U.S. government in 1988. And the changed context by 2003, made Iraq's 1988 use of chemical weapons, into a humanitarian pretext for Regime Change. The U.S. government couldn't care less about Kurds or massacres or using chemical weapons (which hadn't been done since WWI, not even Hitler crossed that line). The only thing that changed, all that mattered, was the political context. Which reduces humanitarian concerns to a cynical tool, used for the manipulation of public sentiment.
