Quote[/b] ]"Human Rights" is a Western construct. Europeans and Americans started caring about 'human rights' after they finished looting the globe for themselves and left the locals in charge of the scraps. Each country has evolved with its own culture and perspective on 'human rights.' But, of course, the West sets the standard for the moral imperative.

Yes! Spoken like a true blue state resident!

We here in America are pretty good at minding everyone elses business and not minding our own! We're a first world country with a third world government. Re. New Orleans, War on Terror, etc...

It seems to me that more and more politicians and governments are lackys for the business elites. Dress it up and put some kind of attractive spin on it and sell, sell, sell. As long as we're making the money that's all that matters.
