While I'd say I am in fact a moral relativist, I'd also say I'm not exactly arguing for it. As far as I can see, relativism is the agnosticism of morality - in the lack of evidence for an objective moral code, the only reasonable, logical position is relativism.

On the other hand, I'm rather ignorant about the subject, so my opinion isn't to be taken very seriously.

On the other hand that would mean that the U.S. is justified in however they treat Iran, since they're nothing objectively wrong either. Sometimes you really can't have your cake and eat too.

Sure, but I can still dislike it, which in practice means the same (essentially nothing, since my influence is zero ;)
