I was just want to say I think the entire idea of consitancy is bs.
Countries we don't like: try to make them look bad.
Countries we do like: ignore their shortcomings.

That's just the way the world works. We support countries that help us advance what we perceive to be our national interests. We villify those who don't. It's that simple.


Most countries have real [censored] "human rights" records. The only ones that are probably even close to ok are wealthy western liberal democracies. Drug smuggling in Thailand? Life in prison! (I'm sure those Thai prisons are a blast)
The Angolan police force must be fun to deal with. China, Pakistan, Israel, Saudia Arabia, Colombia, Russia, Sudan..."human rights" violations are pretty common in all of them.

What we really need is to have people stop giving a f*ck about the political rights of people that live thousands of miles away, come from a totally different culture, and don't really care about us. If the government wants to start beheading every second-born child over in Tajikistan, it's really not going to affect my life in any way whatsoever.
