There isnt much hypocracy messa thinks!!! All nations do break international laws, however the more powerfull the nation is, the higher is its intrest, its stake and responsibility. Therefore, small less powerfull nations probably break international laws as often if not more than united states, if we have the equations normalized by applying proportionality of a nation's wealth and power. As far as "reserving the right to punish others for allegedly doing the same". Other smaller nations with opposite polarity to that of United States, do equally reserve the right to punish others, smaller then them. SO again no hypocracy there. But there is much hypocracy in how average people think both in the United States, West and elsewhere in the world, such as the Middle East. I see it everyday.
The perception that US government is one singular Blackish entity is far from truth. If anything it is the greatest and the most humble imperial power in the annals of history. Certainly, I would rather live under the banner of Stars and Stripes, rather then Islamic cresent, be it Shia or Sunni, or the Reds or the Fascists. But all in all, I prefer nations like Canada and Japan. Less stupidity there. But ofcourse the fact remains that the US government today is as corrupt
or has the potential to be as corrupt as any other nation on this heavenly earth.
These points asides, you must be reminded that you are in a forum where people are largely right wing conservatives. Atleast those who post often are. Therefore, you must ready to weather the storm of critisim that is unleash upon you. If you use spin, they will use spin. If you use technicalities, they will use technicalities. But in my opinion as long as you are centered and do not stray to much into leftism, you will do just fine here.
