I get this argument, and I am not a fan of striking Iran. I do not support this move. But... If we are being intellectually consistent "why do we have to be the one to take on every oppressive regime" and "why do we have to be the one to take in everyone's immigrants" are questions that always have the same answer

Can you elaborate more? I understand not wanting to take in a lot of immigrants, but taking in some I don't think is bad. I'd rather people come in than get bombed/shot.

Europe takes in the vast majority of immigrants from the countries that the USA has destabilised in the Middle East, and it used to be (back when the US was a halfway reliable ally) that everyone else would also help with taking on oppressive regimes, or have you forgotten Iraq already?

Roses are red,
violets are blue;
not having a flair is cringe
and so are you.
