[hero of the day]

It’s well-known that USA follows double standards. It can do everything that it always tries to prohibit for others! And the next example of it is a new position of Bush administration in the case of non governmental organizations’ activities.
Well, Bush restrains their activities on own territory if NGOs which receive foreign funding. But simultaneously US leader appropriates large funds for US non governmental organizations, worked in Europe! Only in 2006 USA appropriated $4,22 billon for it.
Thus, in reality US Special Services, which, in fact, supervise their activities, interfere in the domestic affairs of other countries! As thus we are developing democracy and freedom in the world - with the help of CIA and FBI! Well, it’s very convenient for our government: NGOs not only dissociate our own society, but also recruit new agents among Poland and Czechia citizens for CIA needs!
It is curious that due to recent Bush view NGOs abroad have close ties with terrorists - results CIA is terrorist organization! Oh, I’ve never doubted that all this red-tape with terrorism was started by American Special Services either!

Your making an illusion.

"NGO" is such a broad term that it's meaningless.

After all, al qaeda is an "NGO."

You can't pretend these groups are on some higher plane, there ARE something, they MEAN something, they have missions, aims, goals, that are one of two things that CAN be put to a "standard"

In the best interest of the USA
OR counter to the best interest of the USA

Advance our interests at any cost to human life in other countries because, after all, hardly anybody in America cares about the welfare of people in other nations if it means Americans might have to sacrifice something.

If that's all you care about, then there is NO moral highground for us at all. We are just one more nationalist bully trying to get his way.

Preaching morality?
Imposing your values on me?

When did that suddenly become acceptable?
