Here is a nice illustration to wulfie's explanation of the "right" thing.
Country A plans to attack country B some thousands miles away because theres possibility that B has chem/nuclear weapons and a chance that B will use those almost certainly existing weapons some time later against A or A's allies.
Country X plans attack bad guys in country Y (NOTE - NOT country Y - just bad guys in there) that are used to cross X's border with weapons, fight X's border patrols and X's army, shot down X's helicopters two years ago, one year ago and in this year too.
Now country A
says to X : "don't do that" and to all other countries (including X) : "lets kick B's ass"...
Am I wrong or too biased somewhere ?
