Yea, I'm harsh, but no matter what faults are found in Western society (and there are many, and I am not shy about discussing them) there is a difference between our culture and cultures like this regarding BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS, no matter what that monster George Bush did, the everyday human beings in the US and other Western nations find these acts and attitudes appalling (except for a minority of apologists floating around correcting people like me online). And no, it doesn't mean I want to bomb them. Cut off aid like they cut of girls' sexual organs? HELL YES.

I agree with this. America may have its faults, but it's still one of the most enlightened and free countries in the world.
