"Essentially what you're saying is your don't care what happens to people in other countries as long as your name can't be tangentially attached to the occurrence..."

I am not saying anything of the sort. I am saying that I am not going to go around preaching about the evils of other countries when my country is doing the same things, and worse. I am going to follow the advice that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Blathering about how evil China is when they are doing the same thing we are doing, but doing it with less imposition of violence and death, is hypocrisy of the worst sort.
