(I think that it would be morally acceptable at this point to invade Zimbabwe. If practical reasons suggested such a move, morality would be consistent with it. Absent those practical reasons, we may not be moved to invade, simply because we can't do everything, but not being able to do everything should not mean that we can do nothing.)

I hear what you're saying, but it strikes me as an odd view of the world that posits morality as a potential obstacle to action rather than an impetus. Maybe less odd than Freudian. But, whatever.
