No-- my point is that if one has moral principles, they are not applied in a situational manner. The same morality holds for Bush as Saddam as bin Laden as Sharon as Arafat. Otherwise we are running a popularity contest and avoiding moral issues. That is exactly why I give a mirror image of Saddam and demand that the same standards of decency apply to all.

If not, we will just trash governments we don't like and look for rationalizations.
