>>The US policy of wagging its finger at other nations is insulting and demeaning.<<

I don't have a problem with insulting the people who massacred protestors in Tiananmen Square, who grind Tibetans, Uighurs, Mongolians, Christians, Buddhists, practitioners of Falung Gong, into the dirt, who force women to have abortions, who forcibly sterilize people, who use torture, etc. etc. etc.

>>The idea that the US has the right to claim that it is pure as the driven snow and that it can therefore dictate behavior to sovereign nations is mystifying.<<

We aren't saying we are as pure as the driven snow, but our government today is nothing like the Chinese government. We have the right to boycott and reject rogue nations.
