Next you'll be wondering how the USA can sent helicopters into Pakistan to assassinate someone, target a MSF hospital and the end result is "whoops - my bad!" with nothing done about it, yet when other countries fire a missile in their own boundaries that is reprehensible; how we care oh so much about the poor asylum seekers although I've yet to see celebrities give much more than a few hours of their time and a token amount of money (if any) and most of us (me included) are very content to live a nice life whilst so many live on a few dollars a day... And so on and so on - hundreds of examples we are all aware of.
As always, those who are rich and powerful make the rules and enforce the rules: the rule of law is invariably a way of enforcing the status quo (hence why at the UN only 5 countries have a veto and hence they and their chums are always blameless). Small, weak, powerless loosers are going to get the full whack of the law with the large, powerful winners able to get away with pretty much anything and even lauded for sorting out a problem that they helped create.
