Yes, this is a generic tangent—somewhere between generic and offtopic, actually—and certainly a flamewar tangent, so it is correctly flagged. Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with.

I believe the west cares that much to pretent that they have doubt about interfering drastically in the life of heterogeneous and diverse view people grouped together geographically and called country. Showing that they respect independence and self governance. A rigteous self image to cloak cowardnes towards risky acts you know.

Also global assholes cover each other's ass and there are quite a few of them.

The risk is that if you start bombing Iranian nuclear facilities that they immediately start manufacturing a nuclear bomb.

I have a feeling this will change real soon.
