I guess my problem with using this line of reasoning as justifying our action in the Middle East is how often we have not intervened in other crimes against humanity, attempted genocides even. So how can we claim this is somehow a moral crusade when we pick and choose our fights based upon was is (or is perceived to be) most advantageous for us?
I think the problem many people have is that had we not started meddling over there, we wouldn't have them coming over here to kill people. And that is to what I think most people are referring when they talk about us starting things.
