Look, I mostly agree with you. I give a pretty short shrift to selective outrage and fickle talking-point moral indignation also. However, the fact remains, regardless of who raises the point, that the Dubai government is complicit in wide-spread, institutionalised abuse of its most vulnerable working class, and they should stop. Now are you going to argue with that, or perhaps claim that I have no standing due to the crimes of my distant ancestors and/or corrupt countrymen? Because I don't think that makes any difference at all. We consider every case on its merits. What BAE or whoever did was wrong and hopefully they will be held to account. That affects the current topic not a whit. Beyond that I don't even know what you're trying to say. That the world sucks and people are hypocrites? Well, yes, we can all take that as read, what's next? "Your words, as Westerners, are worth nothing." They are worth as much as anyone else's. What was that about the supremacy of the individual again?
