President Bush Passionate about Human Rights??????
Posted By ê¿ê on October 25th, 2007
In an speech to the State Department on Cuba, the President called for support to help Cubans prepare for a democratic transition.
When questioned on the timing of this speech, the President was cited as being “aggressive” about Cuban and responded that he was “aggressive about promoting human rights”.
What happens to human rights as applied to those people accused of terrorist crimes? What happened to “innocent until proven guilty” ? Why does he support torture-like interrogation tactics? Where does “support of human rights” come into play when talking about how the US performs?
The perception of the US by foreign governments has gone from admiration of our high standards to disgust with our perversity and the too obvious double standard our government is operating under.
We want fair treatment for US Citizens in other countries — treatment that matches our laws and rights given us by our Constitution, but we don’t want to apply those same laws and rights to non-citizens within our own country. Until we change that; apply our laws and the very tenents upon which this country was founded to EVERYONE, we have no right to ask much less demand that other countries treat our soldiers and citizens who are in their country and who have violated their laws any differently.
Grow up George — quit being a bully.
