One of these things happens abroad - out of sight, out of mind - another happens at home. One of these things happens as part of a (relatively) few "outrages", one of those things happens as part of a consistent torrent of outrages. One of these things is a fact and an action, the other is an interpretation. In case that isn't clear: The interpretation is "clearing the mess"; I sure as shit don't agree with you that that's what's going on, and I doubt Sam does, either - which is part of why he's posting this.
