Define "major". By any definition I can think of, both Iraq and Afghanistan were witness to major violations of human rights. And the UN is both ineffective and in large part controlled by those doing the abusing. America is evil for staying out of bad shit when it goes down, as in Rwanda, and evil when it interferes. What is to be done? Where is a real solution? When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
