Agreed regarding the pure humanitarian aspect of it, but there is a bit of a difference from my perspective anyway. Most of the Muslim countries/cities we attacked did have some history of being our adversaries, right? We didn't go against Iraq in 1990 without provocation. We didn't go into Afghanistan without provocation. We didn't go into Iraq in 2003 without provocation....regardless of the WMD aspect. Iraq had demonstrated for a decade that they weren't going to be the best neighbors in the neighborhood with Saddam in charge.

I would say that our intervention into Kosovo wasn't right away and there was a similar lack of compassion for a long time before we intervened and that was a genocide going on. That involved Muslims though...so maybe that bolsters your argument.

Bottom line is that I do think it is an issue, but at the same time our interventions were in response...not like Russia's BS reasons for attacking Ukraine....so the US compassion was minimized for sure.
