"Why is the Bottom of the Saucepan Black?
There is a big noise whenever the U.S. State Department issues its annual human rights report. Some say that America should look at her own mistakes first, before dealing with human rights violations in other countries. Is such a reaction either fair or good for humanity? No, I don't think so.
If you pay attention, the strongest reactions usually come from the worst violators of human rights. For sure, U.S. mistakes during the post September 11 anti-terrorism process and Iraqi war have all given ammunition to detractors. "
