Human rights...it's not even necessary to pull historical information where the US has supported countries that violate human rights. We can take this very Administration and Afghanistan.

The US correctly accused the Taliban of human rights violation under their regime. In particular, directed at women. Cruel stuff....unquestionably, human rights violations.

Now Afghanistan is "liberated" and the UN recently reported that the treatment of women in Afghanistan remains largely the same. And probably worse in the rural areas and in areas under US control. The differentiator for the US it appears is not whether there are human rights violations, it's whether the regime that conducts human rights violations is pro-US.

When dealing with other countries, I would like world approval- not because of them, but because of the safety for us. When we go it alone, we tend to blow it. I like the safety check on our actions the UN represents. This war is ill considered and rash- and I hope we don't suffer blowback from it for the rest of our lives, but I suspect we will.
