Not really, I think. At least when speaking of wars, who else but the US have ever spoken of doing Right, simply because they are doing it? I guess that would be Blair, the second politician I have ever heard to defend an action of war with the words "It was the right thing to do". Admittedly, during the Kosovo campaign, many of our politicians said much the same thing, but they also said: "and this is because....", and then disagreed or agreed with the action taken because of these reasons. The difference is that they didn't refer to the superiority of the democratic system as guarantee for their rightness.

Of course, this kind of argument will probably be seen as a trick by the people who unfortunately think in the way tfbm is schetcing(at least if they dared to embroider their arguments), and I will be told to step down of my high horse since the cases mentioned obviously are identical when you come right down to it. "You too say the exact same thing as us". No mind the argumentation and the reasons, these are just politician speak and so on.

Well. This is my suggestion for an interpretation, at least.
