Double standards

Today we are seeing double standards in all levels of life. Those who have the power are almost invariably prone to using double standards. Today's political situation in our country is a good example. I don't want to get into that matter.

Today the United States is the Super power of the world, yet many of its acts clearly demonstrate the double standards it has set for those who support them and those who do not. Lets take the example of Iraq. Why it started the campaign Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) was obvious to everyone. The only thing was the propaganda it carried out leading to the war was one of the ugliest lies. It said that Iraq was possessing weapons of mass destruction whereas after the war it was very much clear that there was no evidence of WMDs in that country. Another reason was that it was lead by a dictator and that the US could not tolerate dictatorship. I guess it forgot the fact that Saudi Arabia, Egypt and most of the other Gulf countries were run by dictators which is aptly supported by the US because they support them.

The next topic is Human rights. The US calls itself the champion of human rights, wherever human rights abuse takes place it will raise its concern. Be it in China, North Korea or in Myanmar. But when it comes to Israel it will turn a blind eye whatever it does. Innocent civilians die, roadblocks set up to make the life of Palestinians miserable or the complete imprisonation of the Gaza strip. What sort of human rights is this?. When it comes to even condemning Israel at the UN (of course it is a puppet of the US) the US uses its veto power to protect its ally (Israel)

All these things indicate one bad thing for the international community. We are being lead by a very bad country with no past history and glory. All they want is the world's money and oil at 10 dollars a barrel. Hope this will change in the future
