I feel this same way when people try to compromise on imperialism against states that aren't even socialist. "Yes Saddam is evil and eats babies and hates freedom but we shouldn't invade Iraq because..." starting off your argument with all that shit means you already failed to convince someone. It doesn't matter if Saddam Hussein is literally Hitler, you shouldn't give ammo to your enemies and instead explain how trying to bring "freedom" to Bad Country always makes things worse.

Its a great strategy to establish oneself as ambivalent on baby eating right at the start of a debate.
