One that helped free and rebuild parts of Europe and Asia after WW2. That helped establishing democracies in Germany and Japan (and maybe others, dunno.) That's why. At least western world has much higher expectations from USA than from, say, Russia and China. Russia is a silly excuse of a democratic constitutional state and China doesn't even pretend to be that. As such USA have much more responsibility for human rights world wide. Do you really want to be compared to Russia and China here? Imho, one really shouldn't look about the lower end, when one wants to highten the standards, world wide. And, buhatkj, I mentioned it earlier: It is about credibility. Many countries just wait for the chance to say "Well, when they are allowed to do this, so can we." With what ethic justification can your president now claim moral superiority? Nothing much left in that department. Of course, overall, USA's standards are still much higher than China's and Russia's and others'. But good guys get watched at much more. If before the court police got caught with unclean hands on preservation of evidence, the bad guy may walk away freely. buhatkj, so I'd be much more worried, if no one cared anymore. The first signs of defeatism are clearly visible. (Even in your own post, reread it. ;) )[/quote]
