Y'know, just once I'd like to see a thread in Politics not be completely derailed by dksuddeth's beef with the US government. For a change of pace.
dksuddeth, you've made your views clear. This isn't a thread for discussing civil rights violations within the US. If that's what you'd like to discuss, you're more than welcome to go start one.
The only way the western world has of helping those who are in such dire need is through political pressure -- the Amnesty International condemnation is a vehicle to make that happen.
Direct action begets more violence.
roachboy has outlined my thinking well enough.
