Not really. I recall reading about a scene between Charles DeGaull and Dwight Eisenhower regarding D-Day preparations. It appears that some leaders would cut off their nose to spite their faces.....It appears to me that in the world of international politics "Right" has very little to do with final decisions in most cases...as long as you can get kickbacks from oil sales with a sadistic dictator...you can conveniently overlook the use of Chemical Weapons on the various factions....and the mass killings of whole populations in other countrys.
The US may have dirty hands in some cases (note: I say MAY)...but I see a lot of people living in glass houses throwing stones.
