I hate to tell you this, David, but by those standards the Good Ole' U.S. of A.
is one of the prime causers of oppression.

Question (open to everyone):  Which of the two following quotes best describes
what the general attitude towards U.S. foreign poilcy should be:

"My country, may she always be right, but forever my country" (loosely quoted 
from Douglas MacArthur)

"Justice, whether my country is right or wrong, always uphold Justice!"
