But the U.S.'s refusal to participate -- even though it is a massive human rights violator itself -- sends a message to the world: "We don't care about human rights."
That scares me, in light of Iraq, Guantanamo, the recent boycott of the cluster bomb summit, and the general political trend of the U.S. government.
And Israel deserves most of the criticism levelled at it. That isn't to say China doesn't, of course. But Israel's not a victim, here... humanity is.
