Zeno somethin\'?
Zeno is correct. And I made exactly the same point :
"No one group or association of peoples, however organized, has any "high moral ground" to stand on."
Notice that your argument was something about democracies treating non-democracies better. Never happen. I thought the old adage about art and culture making people more civilised stopped holding water ever since Auschwitz and its opera-refined officers.
So, to recapitulate : The war was conducted in order, ostensibly, to disarm Iraq from its WMDs. Since no WMDs are found ("yet"), the spin shifts to the collateral bebefit of turning a dictatoship into a democracy. Because, the spin goes, democracies treat other people better than dictatorships. Which, however, is false.
"Gotta be precise" indeed.
