world today. Like talking about freedom and democracy for the Middle
East then bombing, invading and enforcing a system. Like talk of
human rights then opening a Gulag like Guantanoma Bay, use of
extraordinary rendition (torture) and supporting some of the most
brutal regimes in the world. Like calling for intervention in Darfur,
where thousands are being killed, yet there are lucrative economic
and strategic gains to be had, whilst ignoring Congo - where the
death rates are if anything higher, yet the strategic gains are
fewer. Like overthrowing Saddam one day, after supporting him for
decades previously. Like condemning Muslim countries for having
capital punishment, yet ignoring the fact that the USA still believes
it has a role.
