When your puppet kills people

"Human Rights Watch has confirmed 302 deaths in the Egypt upheavals, based on visits to hospitals in three cities, and says the real toll may be significantly higher. To put that in perspective, that is several times the toll when Iran crushed its pro-democracy movement in 2009. And it’s approaching the toll when the Chinese Army opened fire on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing in 1989. Yet when it’s our ally that does the killing, we counsel stability, gradualism and order."
