The US regime's moral high ground

The blood of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghanistanis cover the hands of the US regime (not too mention the millions of poor that have died at the hands of their created market system) and now they sit and decide on the ethics of a punitive strike against Syria. The US regime would gain more world favour if they stuck to the facts (they used weapons we are attacking them because of that) and did not appeal to our sense of morality or some distant ethical standard.
