".... a lot still needs to be done." These words on human rights in China from Chinese President Hu Jintao have been triumphantly seized upon by the Anglo Saxon press as a confession. News readers analyse the words with a we-told-you-so tone which seems to imply that human rights are practiced only in western countries. But is that really the case? Hu Jintao's hosts, the US is by far the worst country in the world when it comes to war crimes and genocide. The only country in the world to have used atomic weapons on Japan, napalm over Korea, dioxin over Vietnam and Laos and now depleted uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Faluja, Iraq there has been an enormous rise in babies born with neural tube, cardiac and skeletal defects. In May last year 15% of 547 babies were born with serious birth defects, 11% were born before 30 weeks and 14% of pregnancies aborted. Rates of cancers have increased. In Vietnam birth defects and cancers have been thoroughly documented. Not only does the US army kill indiscriminately but it also taunts and humiliates the dead. Thus one atom bomb was called " fat boy " and innocent children killed by drones are casually dismissed as " collateral damage " as though they are inanimate objects like tables and chairs. Not just direct killing, of which there is no proper count, but the US is also behind at least half a million Iraqi deaths through the " Oil for food program " which it sponsored. So, if the Chinese kill a few in Tianananmen Square then it is violation of human rights but the US are right to slaughter millions. Spare us the sanctimonious lectures. We demand globalisation of human rights.
