I think the debate is healthy. One angle that was missed here is that a governments actions seldom reflect the wishes of its people. Especially in the Middle East. So to say that Iran, China, or Turkey , ‘for a few examples’, will not act in a certain way because of their diverse populations is not correct. Those countries are run by Dictators who do what they please without a healthy public debate about what should be done.

Not that the corrupt Western governments are much better, but there is at least a thin veneer of openness and debate. JohnBarleycorn
