That's fair enough but war is war. Any hypocritical tag won't last very long and it'll all be conveniently forgotten, swept under the carpet in the same way that we conveniently forget that we killed german captured prisoners during WWII.
We might well see the same thing happen again with Gaddafi (the US have made more veiled threats in his case) but I would imagine that might be tad more politically sensitive. Just a tad mind.
Maybe it will, i suspect it might be more significant than that in terms of world history though. That wasn't my point anyway though i was talking in terms of immediate global relations and our image to the worlds population today, in particular members of arab/muslim world in which our governments not held in the highest regard by many, quite justifiably based on our track record. Merely pointing out that this could have been chance to come off smelling a little better.
