"A dictator falls out of favor with the West and, after quietly supporting him for years, we are suddenly told that “we” must not tolerate him (and only him) a second longer. The other tyrants we support, however, are just fine. In fact, those tyrants can even boost their standing in “our” eyes provided they cooperate with bringing down the “bad” dictator. See the way the Arab League’s support for a “no fly zone” (i.e. war) on Libya is routinely offered to justify it."
