Ten,

re: So as long as you aren't as unilateral, and you can keep the monetary and human cost of the war down, and you can keep the ulterior political motives less transparent, the double-standard is fine in your book?

The fact that Iraq is unilateral demonstrates that there is not a compelling threat. If there was a serious threat to the US and/or our traditional allies, don't you (seriously, no crap) believe that NATO would have been on board? Is the monetary and human cost significant? If not to you, it is to me. Is transparency important? I think so, that's what allows honest debate (as opposed to WMD fear propaganda).

Is there a double standard and is it OK? Yes there is, and it's expedient, especially with this administration. Otherwise Bush would be in Iraq, North Korea, Pakistan, Sudan...

You were the one that was shocked that an organization demonstrated "double standards". You tell me if a consistent standard is important for this administration.
