Humble Pie

Syria agreed to public discussions with the U.S. to help broker a solution in Iraq, but the U.S. refused to meet with Syria unless the talks were private (secret). Which is the despotic regime?

From genocide of indigenous peoples, to witchhunts, to slavery, to oppression of minorites and suppression of women and exploitation of children, to eugenics, to development of chemical and biological and nuclear weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. has (enthusiastically) done it all. Perhaps we should temper our self-righteousness with a dose of humility.
