Well ... depending on where you are in the US, certain officials and municipalities are already doing exactly what you describe, while many would openly like to do so except that some pesky laws and constitutional rights seem to be in the way.

Let's not even get into the US's treatment of foreign nations and governments. One man's freedom fighter, another man's terrorist.

There is no "moral high ground" between the two; you're just choosing which evil you are more comfortable with.

Right. Well, I stand by my opinion. I do think US is bad, and what's happening there is nothing short of a circus. But there is still a giant difference. Cultural, perhaps. I think you cant't wipe out two thousand years of dynastic rule in a century. While US is at parts removing rights in China some of those rights never existed. Human activists live in jail in China, I can't say the same for US. But how can you really measure evil, all the bad things minus good things? Is a nation where there is a strict authority who must be obeyed better than a ruckus of power-hungry politicians trying to gain money, who can say.

Well, anyway. Politics probably shouldn't be discussed in HN. Although it's very interesting topic.
