Nice that you'd have just hung back and let the suffering continue, mumbling stuff about containers from your comfy couch. Pretty sad we have to explain going in to a place like that on a WMD basis. There's weren't WMDs in Rwanda either, and I suppose you'd have let the Hutu government continue their slaughter.
Oh the Lack of Humanity.

Shit. Some consistency would be nice. If we're doing this for humanitarian reasons, then we need to save
everyone suffering under brutal dictators.* Oh wait, this is just another after-the-fact-rationalization-combined with-an-appeal-to-emotions-fallacy.
If the favorable emotions associated with X influence the person to accept X as true because they "feel good about X," then welcome to Fallacyville. Population: You.
*I'm actually fine with this.
