How US suppose to deal with governements with laws that harshly punish the innocent people ?

Answer 1

We must remember that the principal instrument of government is coercion and that our government officials are no more moral, omnipotent, nor omniscient than are any of the rest of us. Once we understand the basic principles which must be observed if freedom is to be safeguarded against government, we may become more hesitant in turning our personal problems and responsibilities over to that agency of coercion, with its insatiable appetite for power

Answer 2

The U.S. imprisons a higher percentage of its population than any country in the Western hemisphere. Domestic policy needs to change before any criticism can be made of other nations' justice (or lack thereof) systems.

But to answer your question, it isn't supposed to. The U.N. needs to be empowered (and armed, in my opinion), democratized, and less dominated by the world power(s) on the Security Council to become a more effective force for accomplishing these things. When the decision lies in the hands of one country, it allows for extreme bias. In the recent case, the majority of the Security Council voted to condemn the massacre at Beit Hanoun by Israel, but the United States voted against the measure, and consequently the will of probably about 80-90% of the U.N. member nations, in doing so. The 20 dead at Beit Hanoun were innocent victims that were punished by a bloodthirsty Israeli government, how do you feel the United States should deal with that? How should the U.S. deal with the innocent in Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, or Colombia? Should governments cozy with the United States be given a blank check for human rights abuses while non-aligned countries have theirs exaggerated? Of course not, which is why these problems cannot be left up to the United States, a country that is essentially only interested in furthering its control of world policy by any means necessary with complete disregard for justice in the process.

Answer 3

gee we do this all the time, how many tyrants are in power today because we put them there, look at Saudi Arabia, one of Bush's closest allies, not frimnedly to the AMerican People as they rape us daily with the high cost of oil! Saudi's also have one of the worst human rights records around, they also supplied all the highjackers named in the 9/11 attacks, they just happen to be where Bin Ladden is from and earns his living out of. So it doesnt seem to be a problem to the adminstration!

Answer 4

We shouldn't deal at all with abusive governments, but try telling that to the US government... We have about 8 million people in our prison justice system, that should say something about the kind of people who set our policies.

Answer 5

Impeach bush. That should take care of one nation.

Answer 6

The US should mind their own business.

Answer 7

Kill them if necessary. we should do somthing about the invasion here at home first though.
