I understand the obvious difference between killing somebody in immediate self-defense, and doing the same just because you can. I wasn't defending Hussein in any way. Just saying that "inside his own country's borders" and "to his own people" is a silly argument coming from the same Americans who financed the gratuitous war on Iraq. I'm saying, Kurds (you know, the ones that got gassed) are still trying to get their own country, but you never hear a peep from the establishment in Washington about Turkey cracking down on them.
If my brother punches me, it's very different from some douchebag who doesn't even live in the same town, and who then claims it's in my best interests while setting up camp in my backyard.
