Sure, but lines should be drawn somewhere. The invasion of Iraq was a humanitarian nightmare and our country decided not to take any action to punish those who committed it. If the China performing censorship is enough a reason for Google to morally avoid that market, then the US certainly falls on the other side of the line as well. And if that's too far in the distant past, the war in Yemin should suffice.
