usa it would be. hypocrisy over democracy. while america the government now preaches democracy it has propped up authoritarian leaders but that's not the only accusation of hypocrisy that washington is facing there's also u.s. policy makers failure to condemn the violence when it suits their goals like the numerous terrorist attacks in syria washington seems to approve of them as long as they are targeting supporters of the our saudi government or another act of violence a rebel mob executing colonel qadhafi the us so true state cheered at the news came we saw he died that. washington's failure to condemn all violence equally has prompted radicals to take an even more aggressive course if most americans understood what was being done in our name in the stabilizing the middle

east and north africa it would be absolutely horrified what are the result to me expect these people to have no hope their economies are destroyed they see we're calling for foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy in libya happened the international community wholeheartedly condemned the attacks on american diplomats but the u.s. for its part has been quite selective in condemning violence it could be that the white house thought by supporting revolutions by fostering regime change they were winning hearts and minds in the muslim world but that doesn't appear to be the case for now the obama administration constantly refers to this film as the sole reason behind what's happening a reasoning which basically allows them to avoid addressing the deeper issues in washington i'm going to. france was also targeted by this week after a french magazine published caricature of prophet muhammad police in paris arrested twenty one people for defying a ban on protest rallies france has western europe's largest muslim population at

use a british expression in international politics because they want to keep their veto in the united nations so there is no difficulty on the other hand there is a growing feeling in left wing circles that the government's policy is nonsense you cannot support it terrorism on monday and condemn it on tuesday and support it again on wednesday they're playing it both ways they don't want to enrage the the people the alleged five million people of muslim backgrounds in france are a lot of people on the other hand they stick to their line that they allow free speech which of course is only allowed in france on certain subjects it's a heavy flight of the french who are finding things are getting too taxing. the required responsible for this crisis and they should be more than the rest since they have more meetings but instead the bigger owners are bailing out to places where they don't have to share their piles of cash with anyone else. in georgia the prison abuse scandal has now led to
