Yes, facts do matter, which is why I continue to use them to hammer people with their own absurd logic. If you are to try and paint one regime as being evil for having a specific goal you must also look at the goals of the regimes you support. If the one you support has used similar tactics in recent memory, then you cannot use that as the basis for your argument as it is self defeating. Its the old "do as I say, not do as I do" argument, and that doesn't hold water. I continue to use the United States as the prime example as that is the point of reference for most people, and they are the ones proclaiming themselves as "world cop". A point of reference is extremely important in all of this. Without one, you get to live in a vaccuum, which is an impossibility when we discuss the human condition and geopolitics.
