There is hardly any need for America to conceal its hypocrisy.  \n\nPost war (World War II) American Governments have supported autocratic regimes in Central and South America.  Such regimes in the Persian Gulf region receive American support.  America had the tradition of suppressing democratic movements in these regions.  Yet America claims to be in the forefront for establishing democracy everywhere in the world.\n\nExistence of WMD  was flaunted as one of the reasons for attacking Iraq, while all reports clearly indicated that there was no WMD with Iraq.

THAT ONE WOULD TAKE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH. ISOLATED TRENDS IN THIRD-WORLD COUNTRIES DO NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT GLOBAL TRENDS, NOR DO POWER-HUNGRY SUPER-POWER COUNTRIES' TRENDS NECCESSARILY REFLECT ON SMALLER NATIONS, LET ALONE ACCURATELY PORTRAY THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

All nations in the region should have input. We might not do as they say but input is important.

It is part of the seven industrialized nations. That in itself says enough.

Unfortunately there is some level of corruption in every country.  But it is still our (the U.S.) choice if we want to give them aide or not and people shouldn't complain if the U.S. stops giving aide to a country like Pakistan for instance.

That's interesting. I think that they can. I think that brazil is one of those "quiet" countries that will eventually emerge as the next world leader. And I believe that they will do it without power or might but with their wisdom that they obtain from watching the rest of the world screw up in form or another.

Maybe but probably only companies based in other countries (i.e. India). ;)

Same reason why we have the olympics to re-unify the world and create a link between different countries. It's also just competitive nature and countries wanting to be better than the others, patriotism and supporting your country, take your pick

Why someone is required to make a comparison between these two countries.........they are two different countries and are distinct in thier identities...No comparison is possible in the countries...if u are talking about the western power's strategy they don't compare the countries they compare thier own advantages and interests associated with countries.... and about distinction that they can't made...when the countries have accepted both the countries there is no question of not distinguishing between the countries..

They can and probably do.  I did not understand some of the answers above.  Something about Iran being more likely to use them????  If the US is less likely to use them.  Why do they need them in the first place?

Good Questions. \n\nI think that if countries are willing to force "advice" upon other countries..they should at least practice what they preach.\n\n\nHope that helps Moe.

International laws and treaties apply when they are adopted (ratified) by the nations. Until then, they are just recommendations.

That's a single data point.  I wouldn't assume that other country's systems are better without more information.  I think we just get firehosed with info when it happens in the US vs elsewhere.

Anyone can go anywhere (except for imprisoned criminals, obviously), because there is only one country. The Empire.

Who knows? It has been done before.  There are quite a few such organizations that operate in several areas of conflict throughout Africa, Asia, and the Americas,  that do such work very effectively.
