Well, to return this to the original context of America unilaterally
invading Iraq because *Al-Qaida* committed a terrible crime against
Americans and others in their vicinity: What I'd *hope* is that we don't
immediately set out to invade Zimbabwe on the grounds that awful people run
the place, and we really hate awful people because some awful people that we
can't find did an awful thing to us.
