My code of morality isn't peculiar at all. I'm unwilling to tolerate dictators that gas their people or use prohibited weapons in a war against another; but nor am I willing to tolerate our own leaders that aid and abet these same dictators or knowingly take serious immoral action themselves.

Analogy: If you aid and abet killing someone, or have specific knowledge of such a crime but do not report it, then you are an accomplice at worst or obstructing justice at best.

Do you not believe that we should act with morality? Time and time again past administrations have been shown to act with an alarming lack of morality yet you seem unconcerned about this, nor do you seem to accept that moral lapses in the past will likely happen in the future and may well be happening now.

I fully appreciate that all major nation states act in the realm of immorality from time to time. You have consistently castigated only *other* nations while failing to recognize that the US is as culpable as any of those that you attack.
