By which I mean that you seem to be willing to take a "by any means necessary" approach when it suits you. Not that you are immoral for supporting the invasion of Iraq.
You seem to feel that an immoral regime always justifies the use of force. And perhaps it does. My concern is that the indiscriminate use of force is counter-productive. I believe that the most effective way of bringing about lasting democracy is to encourage it from the ground up, in the local population. We both want the same thing, we just legitimately differ over how that is best brought about.
