Chances are they are not terribly objective, but then, I get worried about the way those arguments tend to run. a) The US and UN do not agree on Human Rights issues b) The UN *given instance that is admittedly a little hard to fathom or defend* is not always right. c) Ergo, the US is always right
That sort of thing. I don't think that was the argument that fleurdelis was making, just that I get nervous anytime I see a line of argument that someone could take that way.
Granted I labor under a strong predjudice of d) The US is always wrong which often gets in the way of these sort of things...
