Your comment typifies the ugly American attitude that we don't care what the rest of the world thinks about us, and they can go to hell for all we care. Yet almost in the same breath we proclaim ourselves better than them while demanding they listen to us, and conform to our expectations of them.

Just one more reason the rest of the world has lost it's respect for the U.S.. How can you expect anybody to respect you while at the same time you you hold them and their opinions in contempt?

Pointing out the faults of other countries doesn't absolve us of our faults and shortcomings, especially countries like Saudi Arabia, who the rest of the world knows has been supported and protected by their great ally the United States, with hardly any mention of their human rights abuses.

It's a sorry human being that can't stand a little critique, and the same goes for our country, especially when there is so much to criticize.
