Some very simple questions for you, Jeroen:
Do you believe that the US's record on human rights is comparable to the
record of human rights for Iraq, Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, Iran,
Syria, and the Lybian Arab Jamahirraya?
If yes, please explain why you find the US's human rights record to be no
better than the record of those countries (or at least similar enough that
there is not an overly meaningful distinction between the too.)
If no, please describe why you posted such inflammatory remarks that will
surely generate much outrage on the part of list-members, at what appears
to be the comparison I just described.
Thank you.
JDG
