Is it the responsibility of one nation or any number of allied nations to dictate what a SOVEREIGN NATION or its peoples do or do not do?
HERE'S THE MAIN POINT.
IF YOU WANT TO TELL SAUDI ARABIA, OR CHINA, OR PAKISTAN, OR IRAN WHAT THEY SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT DO...
THEN YOU SHOULD INVADE THEM.
PURE AND SIMPLE.
IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE MORALITY IS SUPERIOR, THEN IT IS YOUR DUTY TO DEFEAT ALL COMPETITORS.
Piecemeal bombings and funding rioters and insurgents is a VIOLATION OF SOVEREIGNTY.
Do you believe in personal privacy?
Do you believe in a person's right to their own body?
The same PRINCIPLE applies to SOVEREIGN NATIONS.
(IFF) you believe that you know better than everyone else (THEN) you SHOULD put cameras and microphones in everyone's homes and end child abuse and neglect forever by imprisoning all bad parents!
