No, it's not - or I'd say it's not, just as it's not right to prop up a
social system in which child abuse is taken as acceptable, like
Afghanistan.

On the basis of your arguments so far, you'll now say that involvement in
child pornography should not be illegal, because the government is acting
badly in its conduct of war.  If so, I hope you have plenty of chances to
meet the victims, and that they get to explain to you exactly why that's a
stupdily invalid argument.   Possibly with the aid of lots of sharp things -
which by your argument wouldn't be wrong, as the government misuse sharp
things in other circumstances.

Sheesh.
