It's all real politik and business casual war crimes when the west does it, but religious extremists run amuck and savages at the gates when there's any pushback (or blowback) from our policies.
I'd wonder how Americans would behave if Iran invaded, or overthrew our president repeatedly. Or creates an American secret police which then killed 10s of thousands of Americans.
Lol.
