Also since recent Republican administrations are not noted for their support for human rights campaigns, it makes the reasoning, when it comes from them, more than a little hypocritical

John, isn't your memory a tad selective here? Both Bush 41 and Clinton undertook human rights campaigns only when pushed to do so by the pictures on CNN.

Bush saved the Kurds in Iraq after letting their uprising be crushed, then tried to feed the Somalis. Then he left that little campaign as a house-warming gift for Clinton. Clinton, after passively watching Sarajevo be destroyed, finally intervened in Kosovo, but did nothing in Rwanda.
