""With rare exceptions, the only people delusional and naive enough
to believe the US is serious about its "commitment-to-human-rights" rhetoric -
as opposed to exploiting human rights concerns as a tool to undermine regimes it
dislikes - are found in the west. In the regions where the US enthusiastically
supports even the most repressive regimes provided those regimes show fealty to
US dictates, the stench of this hypocrisy, of this radical dishonesty, is so
potent that it cannot be evaded.""
