It is very naive to not understand that the leader of the US has a large impact on the world at large. Having an administration who have all but said that foreigners do not have any rights isn't good for anyone.
- gadders 13y agoI hardly think they've said that foreigners don't have any rights. The leader of the US does have an impact on the world at large, that's true. However his priority is the USA. Just as the priority for Merkel is Germany, UK of Cameron etc etc.
- solistice 13y agoI think he meant the straw that breaks the camels back would be them saying that, because they've said or demonstrated almost everything in the direction. Spying even on their allies (Right to Privacy),Guantanamo Bay (I'll just bunch this up as general human rights), various Wars on bogus reasons (Rights of a sovereign nation), TSA Detentions of Foreigners (Right to Freedom), etc. So they've demonstrated that they don't seem to care much about the rights of foreign citizens, and also in some instances the rights of their own citizens, for example the abuse of Manning, the fact that Snowden has to seek asylumn, etc.
- gadders 13y agoEveryone spies on everyone, even allies. You think Germany doesn't? That's just life in the big leagues. Even Sweden's foreign minister acknowledged this. As for the other stuff you mention, I don't agree with your premises. I don't believe the wars were bogus, and I'm comfortable with terrorists being held in Gitmo.
