This is a normal post Part of the west's problem
is the rather glib and arrogant assumption that everybody in the world, or at least an overwhelming majority, desperately wants a liberal western style democracy with sexual equality and gay rights etc. I'm far from convinced that this is the case.

This is a normal post It isn't that arrogant when millions of them turn up at the border.

This is a normal post Fleeing violence, poverty and oppressive regimes
does not make you automatically a western style democracy fanboy. Many want a share of what we've got, but that doesn't mean they share our values.

This is a normal post Sure... I don't expect them to share our values.
But they should expect to be told to fuck directly to off if they want to enjoy the benefits of our values without adopting them.

This is a normal post If fucking only.
What actually happens is that we're told how fucking wonderful their so called values are and how we must respect and revere them. Then excuses are made for all the acts of violence committed in the name of their values, and a blind eye is turned to the misogyny and homophobia that is central to their values.

This is a normal post I normally detest Graham when he speaks about most other issues, but he make a fair point there, they are doing Assads work for him
Still, the US supported Hussain for his early years, and whole bunch of nasty dictators around the world when it suits their interests, so this is nothing new. they still back Karimov in Uzbekistan because he allows US bases, and he's as dictatory as they come
