well, who do you blame in those circumstances? It's in everyone's best interest to not kick a state to the point where the people of that state feel that they have to choose the extremist. A neighbouring state can say that "I did nothing wrong". And that's probably true, but it's probably better for you if you did something previously that was out of your realm of duty to make sure that state does not descend to that stage.
And here, I'm not talking about dictators that forced themselves on the people and led the country into a pothole like North Korea.

Really? So honor killings are a good thing? Women should have little or, better yet, no rights? If a person listens to music, or watches TV, they should be killed? People should be attacked for the name they call God? People should be executed for who they say I love you to? People should be oppressed and enslaved for the profit of others? There are places where some/all of those things are morally correct, and it is in no way arrogant to say places/peoples who's moral code says those things are wrong have a higher moral standard.

When I go visit China, I find a lot of what people in china do to be distastful and try to tell them about it. But then they tell me what right I have to tell them those things.
