re: #77 SanFranciscoZionist

I find it interesting that this argument (I choose this snippet as an example), seems to come out when we discuss men such as Pinochet, while realpolitik arguments against going into Iraq have been so often met (here) with sobs about Saddam’s torture chambers.

That’s the same thing, only opposite, of what I pointed out earlier. People who want a return to a “realist” foreign policy tend to ignore what occurred during those decades.
