See, most people have take issue with America not because they are hypocrites, oh no. If it was such a thing, the only explanation as to why 'they' somehow reserve this special hate for us as opposed to more honest dictatorial polities would be an exercise in irrationality.

The real issue, however, is our tendency to be hypocritical ourselves on certain issues. Because self-interest is fine. Really. It's shady and all, but being honest about it is still being honest.

But then we have this really annoying habit of beating up the drum of liberty and freedom and democracy for all. It's a little annoying for us rationalists who would rather the U.S. work on an open realpolitik policy.

In fact, it's downright embarrassing. And, some might say...



Hypocritical.
