Should torture be tolerated by the people of the Western World?
Should we not severely restrict our trade with any nation that advocates torture and murder?

Your question assumes incredible naivete...During the Shah's era in Iran, both Israel and US trained the dreaded secret police, SAVAK, which was notorious for torturing political prisoners. Also, Israel contributed quite a bit to the apartheid regime in South Africa in which blacks were oppressed and tortured. In Chile, the US brought in Pinochet who's involvement in torture and disappearances are well-known facts. The US government has been instrumental in destroying governments who have placed the interests of their nation above that of US corporate interest...wake up lad!

I don't think you know what you are talking about...Turkish active torture policy? I have never heard of that before and I am Turkish, but I have heard about U.S rasist police tortures and the tortures by U.S troops in Iraq which still is an ongoing thing, also mafia tortures and street gang tortures in U.S.... When is U.S going to care about their problems instead of becoming a police force for the world, what gives you right to do that?
No, torture should not be tolerated at all.....(by that country's people)
And yes the world should restrict their trades with U.S till they sort themselves out...
