       | western infringements on rights, but when western countries (like
       | Australia and now Canada) violate people's rights we pretend its
       | different. I'm not disputing this, just want to add that I think
       | internal criticism is harder for most people, especially blind
       | adherents to whatever system. For example, I bet Iranians that
       | support their government probably look at western countries and
       | have all kinds of criticisms, but have a hard time applying that
       | same critique to Iran and its allies (just a made up example, I
       | don't know anything about Iran really). So it's more about human
       | nature. We need more questioning an less blind conformance
       | generally.
