Does US government really care about human rights?
For years a lot of human rights associations and NGOs were fighting against discrimination and inequality all around the world, efforts are enormous ,results aren't so much , back when Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote uncle tom's cabin , no one expected ,it would lead to the American civil war and abolitionism , later in 1920 when women were granted voting right , only non governmental movements were the reason of social awakening , of course when demands rose , politicians took advantages , and even became proponent , like Abraham Lincoln .
Jane Addams, Martin Luther King, all are US civil rights heroes, after a lot of campaigns , these days USA is well known as a land of freedom and democracy , and American dream is a wish for people all around the world specially who are living in third world countries.
But truth may bother you, when you hear that US government compromises human rights for its benefit not for Americans but because of multinational and oil companies, when you hear that US government is silencing about Human rights violations in China, Tibet, Chinese Muslims , Chechnya ,Rwanda , Saudi Arabia , Emirate , Afghanistan , Iraq ,etc. you may say it's non of my business it's up to people of those countries above and US isn't world police ,we have plenty of problems inside to solve , it's true when you have problems of your own , there is no room for paying attention to the others .
It is rational as long as we do not consider USA influence on international affairs, unfortunately for decades US government was interfering in many countries internal affairs for economic deals, military concessions, political consultant and so on.
That is why now US government has to take responsibility for consequences in those countries it was interfering.
Did you know the reason of saddam hussain's becoming Iraq leader was US approval and support , (historians believe if in 1991 US didn't evade no fly zone over Iraq, saddam didn't get the chance to suppress revolution in shitte regions ),or in Afghanistan did you know who provide Taliban with weapons and ammunitions and train them, yes US intelligence services did that .
So what this have to do with Iran, in the era of imperial regime CIA backing coup (1953) against national government kept monarch in power, for almost thirty years, under imperial regime every opposer and critic faced with prison and torture, US meddling in Iran's interior affairs like army , economy , policy and even entertainment and culture, disgusted people with US government, and those disgustingness leaded to Islamic revolution, now after thirty years of Islamic revolution things didn't improve, again government is keeping its totalitarian style, but situation is a bit different. Current regime is standing against US government's demands like relinquishing of nuclear program, missile program, Islamic culture, and synchronizing of Iranian foreign policy with west.
The fact is all human rights allegations (which somehow exist in Iran) are just pretext to put more pressure on Iranian government, and human right standards which US civil right movements fought for, today are becoming US government Inducement for pressuring countries, and if Iranian government complies with US government today, tomorrow morning it will be the only democratic regime in middle east by biased news corporations.
The point is everyone who has doubt about US human right (double) standards and is not interested in foreign countries misery which were created by US government , must review foreclosure and unemployment statistics of blacks and immigrants in US or contradictions with park 51 in Manhattan , or Virginia execution of a women with IQ of 70 , or Arizona law and so on.
Today we are all responsible of what is happening all around the world because what people have been through in countries like Iran it might happen to every one of us and our silence is a permission to encourage tyrants.
