The second and far more shocking is that the United States is indeed an extreme rights violator in its

various wars on things on which one cannot really make war. The War on Drugs is an ongoing hideous

failure which, together with the War on Poverty, has gutted America’s inner cities — if we’re being

honest these two are more responsible for crappy apartments than the fact that we all don’t have

government-subsidized palaces and penthouses. It has also made a nightmare of several Latin American

countries and plays no small part in the suffering of Afghanistan.

But the War on Terror is truly where Sheepskin Cuff UGG Boot earns the most rights scorn. Prison camps,

rendition, torture, assassinations, domestic spying, environmental destruction, and the foreign wars

which necessitate all of it are America’s shame. We cover it so often in these pages I don’t need to

detail it all — just look at the top of the page any random day.

I assume the UN has nothing to say on these issues due to its at least passive involvement in these

international criminal debacles. Much easier to point the finger about alleged pay disparities between

the genders than call its largest donor and host nation a regime full of torturers and death

profiteers.
