By any objective standards, the moral behavior of the United States over the past century has been far superior to that of a vast majority of other nations. Not being "perfect" does not change that.

It is not hypocricy to point out that many of the totalitarian dictatorships which are members of both the U.N and the World Court would, if these international bodies were objective in their standards, have been roundly condemned for their actions rather than being ignored, as they are.

It is not hypocricy to point out that the U.N. engages in constant attacks on the United States and other Western nations at the same time that they are ignoring these dictatorships.

It is not hypocricy to point out that kicking the U.S. off the U.N. Human Rights Committee while retaining Sudan, a nation in which slaves are actively sold, is a monstrous example of moral corruption on the part of the United Nations.

And a President with the moral scruples of a tomcat bombed a target for the specific purpose of getting his Oval Office whorehopping off the front page. The Congress didn't do it. I didn't do it. The Republicans didn't do it. Bill Clinton and his crew did it. Trying to suddenly generate a "collective guilt" for this is just plain ridiculous.

I don't seem to recall liberals claiming that the entire U.S. was responsible for Iran-Contra, or Watergate.
