John,
In all honesty, you may think you are consistent, in criticizing the United States and other countries, but you're not!
Let me just cite a handful of countries with truly brutal regimes, which garner far less criticixm from you (both by volume and intensity) than your attacks on the United States:
North Korea
Venezuela
Cuba
Zimbawbwe
Byelorussia
It seems to me that when leftish governments engage in mass murder, you consider it a minor thing, but when basically free nations don't treat terrorists very nicely, then you become severly critical.
Absolute nonsense. I have never considered it a 'minor thing' when any government engages in mass murder and I find your suggestion to the contrary to be both offensive and baseless. I am no blind supporter of anything 'left-wing' as you seem to suggest.
You'll notice I listed China as an example of a country I take great issue with in terms of human rights and recently signed an Amnesty International petition against the detention of a doctor who refused to participate in forced abortions as part of the one-child policy. I will be just as vociferous in my condemnation of 'left-wing' atrocities as I am in condemning 'right-wing' atrocities because mass murder is not about left and right but wrong.
If my condemnations of North Korea or Zimbabwe do not come in a similar volume it is because my knowledge of the situation is inferior to my knowledge of other issues. If my criticisms of 'basically free nations' are more intense it is for that exact reason; I expect more from a British or American government than I do from thugs like Kim Jong-Il and Robert Mugabe.
