      It also has a method of governance were politicians harp on and on (and on, AND ON) about having wonderful human rights whilst having the largest fraction of the population emprisioned in the World, regular murders by police, commonly deploying violence against demonstrators, having a voting system that enforces a power duopoly, regularly disenfranchise minorities and were citizens do not have rights to health, food or a place to live, which is not a popular export.

        When we reach for our democratic ideals we are at our best.

        Meanwhile back in the middle east, authoritarian religious police stone you to death for saying things like you’re saying about their government. Grow up. You obviously have it very good.

          The US is directly responsible for the mess in Iraq and the Iranian revolution.

              By giving the Palestinians UN sanctioned country status while allowing Hamas to control Gaza, other terrorist groups are shown that murdering civilians is the way to achieve their goals.

              Personally I would not like to see a return of the IRA, the ETA, Contras, the FARC, Isis etc.
