feel quite irritated at how the Chinese government is bullying the Tibetans.

actually, having said that, america has human rights abuses too. singapore and malaysia are purported to have biased/undemocratic election processes.

seems to be that in this century the more upright countries appear to be the australians and western europeans, especially the nordic countries. many of them have done the one great thing of abolishing the death penalty. other than some racism, they seem to have a cleaner record. but then racism (think paulene hanson) is no small problem too.

in the complex world of politics, whose hands are really clean?
