Hold our side up to a standard of near-perfect, and if anyone blows it, then our side gets pummeled while their side is held up to a standard of...why, no standard at all!

Bullshit. Complete, utter, rank, odious bullshit. We are not responsible for the actions of others. We are responsible for our own actions. Sick criminal stupidity is not transformed into anything other than sick criminal stupidity because someone else, somewhere else, did something worse.

We hold ourselves to a higher standard because we have proclaimed, for all the world to hear, that we operate according to a higher standard. Then when we fail to achieve that standard, we - some of us, at least - whine about how we are no worse than those to whom we say we are superior. Idiocy.

We will pay a price, around the world, for these actions. It will be a high price, and, unfortunately, there's not much for us to complain about. There are things you can't do if you want to wear the white hat. If you do them anyway, the hat comes off.
