Soviet Russia used to do things like this, and you never saw this level of protest over it. China is still in Tibet and the protest is minimal in comparison.
A lot is made by the rest of the world of Americas inconsistencies in foreign policy. But the rest of the world has been pretty inconsistent in the pursuit of peace. Its gonna be pretty hard to create peace when you turn your back on injustice. (And we are just as guilty in that regard.)

I think the double standard comes from how we perceive those powers who take these kinds of actions. Americans and a large part of the world see the US of A as an ideal. However, no one agrees as to what is the best way to live up to that ideal.
In other words, whenever America invades, there is protest which is a way of expressing disappointment.
