this is reality

‎"I want to be very clear in calling upon the Egyptian authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protestors. The people of Egypt have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to free speech, and the ability to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. And the United States will stand up for them everywhere." -- President Barack Obama Feb 2011

So now... a little find and replace...

I want to be very clear in calling upon the American authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protestors. The people of The United States have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to free speech, and the ability to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. And the United States will stand up for them everywhere.

Why do we have fewer rights in the opinion of our own government than citizens of a foreign country do?
