It is exactly your scenario which makes many wonder why we just had to go into Iraq when other countries that are doing far greater evils, and torturing and killing far more people, are either ignored entirely or given the greatest respect, and treated as our wonderful allies.
Moral equivalency? Where is it stated that government must deal with all countries in like manner on the same time scale?

When there is an apartment building burning, a house burning, and a wood shed burning, many people wonder why it is we ignore the apartment building burning and the house burning, but instead focus all our energy putting the wood shed fire out. Is it because we value the wood more?
No clue as to how this applies to real life. I assure you, sir, I would go to the building.

As a sideline, polls show that more people feel the world, and the U.S., is less safe now than before we went into Iraq.
Polls are not indicative of neither truth nor moral integrity.
