What strikes me as odd about this article is that it is supposed to address "what-aboutery", but instead the whole article is nothing but "what-aboutery":
"
That's why Japan needs to speak up about Burma, the Chinese need to speak up about Africa and Americans about things like Guantanamo Bay.
"
Nothing about the original article, or the "how to spot a lame argument" are addressed, instead the original author is accused of just "finger wagging" and looking for an excuse to "piss on Dubai".
He seems to utterly miss the point of the article he is responding to:

- wyclif 18y agoI found this comment of Joi's from his post very, very telling: I was impressed most by the Palestinians who were trying to cause change in Palestine and the Israelis who were trying to change the way Israelis think. So there is no possibility of Palestinians/Israelis changing the way Palestinians think?
