There is nothing wrong with judging other cultures.  After all, if
we ought not to do so, then the fact that America had (and still has)
a long series of civil rights violations would have precluded us from
claiming that Hitler was wrong.  The fact that I am not perfect does
not have anything to do with the imperfections of others (of course,
the fact that I wish to get along with others will sway my desire to
indict them--however, this does not mean they are correct in what
they do).
