Pretty much through history this country has been more of a reactionary force based on public opinion and until it hits close to home it is somebody's else's problem.
It costs many American lives to realize when it becomes our problem,they are randomly selected and it always happens to the other guy.I am the other guy to somebody else is a misunderstood concept.
We also overlook things when it becomes our benefit,in the last couple of years China had systematically killed our spies over there,not expelled but killed as in dead.But yet the American public still shows our support to them by pumping billions into their economies.
You cannot show distain for the dissolution of human rights on one hand but yet show unbridled support to another country that also provides little human rights on their own country,it is hypocritical,and it dissolves the basic human rights argument as a basis in a discussion.
Lots of nasty stuff going on in the world that most do not even want to know about,that is the cost of the freedoms that we take for granted,it is not free nor has it ever been.
