Yes JLB, I would say that if you wanted to actually find out whether or not Amnesty International was ignoring left-wing human rights abuses then their web page is probably the best and only place to look. Oh look, they're all there.
Now, back onto the subject of human rights abuses in Iraq. A couple of things I'd like to say. Firstly that whatever they are, they aren't a hundredth as bad as what Saddam was doing. But, that isn't any sort of excuse, nor is it an excuse that anyone on the left or right has done far worse. The west has to keep to its principles or freedom means nothing, and it is because we (generally) do while others commit all sorts of crimes that we can criticise. |
