Moral Equivalence

Apart from scale, there seems to be no moral difference between the following:

• a policeman kneeling on the neck of a prisoner for nine minutes.
• imposing punishing economic sanctions on the people of Venezuela because you don’t like the government they elected.
• establishing a blockade on Yemen to starve the people because you want them to be ruled by your Saudi friends.
• waging war against the Pushtun people of Afghanistan for twenty years, because... nobody remembers why.
