Have we lost all credibility when it comes to human rights issues.?

Question

We refuse entry to legitamate refugees. We lock up people without charges or the chance of a fair trial.
We deport people without care of what will happen when they land.
We torture rape and pillage from those who cant defend themselves. so i ask can we still take the moral high ground and accuse others of crimes against humanity when we are just as bad or worse.
Because this is a democracy, the actions of our government and trrops are done in our name and we are responsible for their actions.

Answer 1

America has lost credibility in so many areas - in industry, in intelligence, in peace, in government, in basic human trust and honour.

That's because American leadership has long ago sold out in order to accumulate money for the wealthy.

This is why everything has become a commodity - including politics, honesty in government and business - and why you can't find an honest politician or business leader unless you pay them money (hint - if you have to pay them to be honest, they are not honest).

That is why America has so many uninsured and poor - the land of opportunity has turned into a land of opportunity for crooks, robbers, all in disguise of leadership of industry, business management and government.

Answer 2

When Americans talk about human-rights violations in places like China and South Korea... the world laughs. Globally, America is seen as a backward country in terms of human rights.

Answer 3

To be fair, America does not rape or pillage; or at least, the soldiers themselves are not the ones pillaging.
Anyway, this is why torture is such a hot debate. Conservatives have no problem stooping to the terrorists' low level to condone torture. Liberals...just the opposite.

Answer 4

If we haven't yet, we surely should have. And the U.S. surely has no right to criticize how other governments run their elections considering the chicanery involved with the 2000 election.

Answer 5

Deporting is the issue I wanna talk about. We should not care about them, because they did not care about us when they decided to cross illegally in our country.

Answer 6

Pretty much - we talk a good game but we let our hysteria destroy our values and played right into Osama's hands.

We may kill all of Al-Qaeda, but we have lost the war.

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 9

there are two classes of governments and people who make such allegations -- real human rights abusers [Example: Iran] and those who want to become the new rulers of America [the leftists of the world].
