Its like that silliness of Jimmy Carter over the neutron bomb. Its okay to annhilate a city and kill all the people but it is wrong to just kill all the people.
Or its okay to drop 155mm artillery on houses when you don't know who is inside but if you kill a wounded perp with a bullet to the head, you're a criminal.
This all makes perfect sense to me.

Using phosporous and napalm against guerilla operating in areas populated by civilians is a war crime. You are also walking two sides of the fence. Saddam is bad for gassing Kurdish rebels, because it caused the needless deaths of women and children. The US is good for gassing the Sunni's, even tho it caused the needless deaths of women and children. It all makes perfect sense to me - y'all are hypocrites. I roll over laughing whenever I hear you guys talk about moral absolutes.
