At a time when Iraq is under attack?
This isn't about having the moral high ground, it's about a brutal dictator attacking a sovereign nation. Iraq isn't in that privileged position to debate who has the moral high ground.

This whataboutism and moral high ground excuse is so annoying because it doesn't even attempt to offer any kind of solution.
It's a miserable attempt to deflect and find excuses for the USA and daddy GWB who can do no wrong cuz "terrorism" or similarly dumb rationalizations that are never spelled out by the pro-Bush crowd here.
