You May Stir, but Not Shake, & You May Rape, Imprison, Torture, Mutilate, and Slaughter, but Not Poison

Our interaction with Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria has schooled me that while a dictator may rape, imprison, torture, mutilate, and slaughter the innocents within his or her borders, he may not poison them. That would not be just bad and frowned upon, that would be really bad and might lead to condemnation by the UN.

It is a dismal commentary that humans, here, have rights, and that these rights are much diminished elsewhere and not our concern.
