they have the right to go around the world "correcting" the cultures of everyone else? Why do you think you have the right to tell everyone else what laws they should have, what customs they should follow? Europeans and their descendants, the Americans, have been trying to spread Christianity and western style gov't for centuries at the pint of a gun. The people of the America's, Africa and the ME had been doing just fine for 1000's of years, before the West invaded. Now they have nation states, artificial boarders, armies, wars, poverty, starvation, disease, a life out of balance with the natural world ...with their overlords, the West, telling them what kind of gov't and religion they can have, what customs they can follow, food they eat, clothes they wear, when they can sneeze. I may not like some of what they do, but their culture is a 1000 years older than mine, and 1000's of miles away , it's not my place to tell them who they can be, and what they can believe.
