"Indeed the recent refusal by America to adhere to the counsel of the UN sent ripples across the globe carrying the message that it is perfectly acceptable to ignore the principles of which the UN is founded.Therefore, on a smaller scale, other countries are not discouraged and see no reason for justification of the human rights violations within their own borders" 
 
I think it's incredibly biased and ignorant to imply that just because the US decided to invade Iraq, smaller countries are going to start violating the human rights of their own citizens now. I don't see how that conclusion can be logically drawn. While I disagree with the war in Iraq, I certainly don't think it's goin to lead to other countries to start taking away their citizen's human rights.
