In one instance we don't want to kill the innocent people, but if we don't take action were they become collateral damage, millions more may die and millions will be enslaved for years.
In the other instance, the government not only does it not care that innocent people are being killed, but is intentionally killing innocent people, not to save more lives, but to reach some sort of "social good".
Intentions and results are everthing.

What you don't seem to grasp is that IT ISN'T OUR RIGHT. We don't get to say who is and who isn't being sufficiently democratic. Just as we don't get to play God.
Given that we don't have the right to enforce our ideals on anyone else any time we want to, acting as if we do makes us just a group of murderous thugs. Vigilantism is illegal and immoral. Why do you have the audacity to suggest that it's okay, BUT JUST FOR US, to do it on a global scale?
