Doouble moral standards - Iran's invasion of MexicoNoam Chomsky plays a useful mental
exercise to test how equally we exercise our moral sandards. He asks,

the way the US has invaded and occupied Afghanistan and Iraq. Would the American
government as well as citizens go to the aid of fellow ethnic or religious
groups in those countries the way the Iranians may have done in Iraq? Of course.
QED.
