I can't feel morally OK with just allowing many millions to be so oppressed if there is anything within reason which we can do to help the causes of freedom and human rights--and I would hope that you can't, either.

Like I said, if the united states was so concerned about human rights, it would do more to help stop human rights abuses in parts of the world that were less economically important, eg, africa. Of course, our silence when it comes to the massacre in darfur is deafening.

I wasn't suggesting that the United States is acting primarily for altruistically moral reasons; rather, I was just stating personal feelings regarding how repugnant I find the oppression of millions of people. And yes, the oppression (and worse) in Sudan, Nigeria, and Darfur is really horrible and sickening. And the US and UN are paying it relatively scant attention it seems.
