This is funny since the United States, on numerous occasions, has aided and abetted regimes that use torture, rape and murder. See: Pinochet's Chile. It's also hilarious coming from a country that enacted Operation Condor. While that was "in the past", we still torture people in Guantanamo and countries abroad. We (the US) are the huge practical joke around the world.

I'd say the U.S. is a little different than a practical joke. Jokes don't usually build up the same body counts that U.S. policy decisions do. As long as the U.S. continues developing the way it has for the past 100 years (which it certainly will because revolutions are a thing of the past), the rest of the world better strap in for a bumpy ride. It's a sorry state of affairs, but who's going to change it. Sorry to generalize, my lack of argumentative clout attests to how little faith I have in the pursuit of political discourse.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
