It seems obvious to me that we should all hold ourselves to the same ethical standards we impose on others.

If the U.S.A. believes it is unethical for the U.S.S.R. to hold prisoners indefinitely without trial, then the U.S.A. shouldn't hold prisoners indefinitely without trial.

If the U.S.A. believes it is unethical for a country to stockpile nuclear weapons, the U.S.A. shouldn't stockpile nuclear weapons.
