The point was regarding the argument that the "states should play fair" by going after "the other dictators in the world who kill their people".
I think the reality is that anyone who says that
doesn't really want that. If the US were to go to war against North Korea, Syria, or Iran I seriously doubt
anyone making this argument would suddenly be happy that the US is being "consistent". More likely, it would be something "new to complain about".
Not to mention that it's just not feasible. War against every dictatorial government in the world would be prohibitively costly both in terms of real and political capital.
