  >I'm not really sure which right, but probably no. To decide how they want their society shaped, including what rights they grant to whatever minority. Apparently some people in other countries think they should run other people's countries for them and bring them their democracy and their moral code. As if they weren't one of the last countries to abolish slavery, or enforce Jim Crow laws that continue (masked) until this day. Or as if they didn't consider homosexuality mental illness until a few decades ago. It seems that whatever some countries have decided for themselves (no matter how late they are to the party) should be enforced to everybody else. As for other stuff, which they are still backwards (e.g the death penalty, lack of gun control, stand your ground laws etc) those are OK, since they are doing it. >Yes, let's play oppression olympics Better than playing: "whatever I decide is OK, is OK, everybody else must follow my lead. Oh, and I get to do whatever I want myself".
