(62,325 posts)Human Rights? Would you like me to post some pictures of our invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and our drone killings in several countries of innocent civilians? Would you like the names of some of the beautiful, innocent children we have blown to bits? There are so many.
Or would you like to see some photos from Abu Ghraib, some witness testimony from some of our other torture chambers, the women who were and ARE being raped, both in our own military and from the populations we have invaded?
I will post the facts about our horrendous human rights abuses regardless of YOUR threats or anyone else's.
Until this country holds the war criminals and torturers and corrupt war profiteers, and liars like Cheney and Bush, held accountable we have zero moral authority to be the spokespersons for Human Rights abuses. That job should go to countries that have a record of respecting Human Rights, some of the Scandinavian states perhaps, but this country with its so recent history of horrendous human abuses, is not in a position to do so anymore, one of the sad side effects of allowing war mongering criminals to escape consequeneces.
Do not threaten me, it is against the rules here and I find it creepy and disturbing. I don't know you and from my short introduction to you, I would prefer to keep it that way.
