Hypocrisy 101

The following is only a look at realpolitik or plain old opportunism in our world today. For many years, the Western countries' reactions to political events in other countries follow a trend: a trend of hypocrisy

Serbia is not a client state ---> West support Kosovo
Now Kosovo will be a client state. Today, George Bush announced the selling of arms to Kosovo. He said, "I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to Kosovo will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace."

What Kosovo needs is not arms.

Spain is a Western country   --> West does not support Basques

Algeria is a client state          ---> West does not support Imazighen in Algeria

Morocco is a client state      ---> West does not support Imazighen in Morocco

Turkey is a client state          ---> West does not support Turkish Kurds 

Iraq WAS NOT a client state  ---> West supported Iraqi Kurds

Iraq IS now a client state       ---> West does not support Iraqi Kurds

China is not a client state but a commercial ally   -->  West does not support Tibetans

Sudan is not a client state of the West but provides China with Oil ---> West does not support Darfur refugees

These double stantards reflect the hypocrisy of the West when it comes to human rights, tyrants, oppressions, and freedom.
