Exactly, no convenient answer when someone presents you with a legitimate question. 

Or rather impossible to give an honset answer without exposing your own hypocrisy. Such. Hypocrisy.

I answered your question.  While it may be legitimate its not a very good question and easily answered.

It is no better than a child asking his parents why they get to stay up later than him.  The parent my by a hypocrit but we all know the answer why, because the parent is in charge.  The child has no power over the parent, they to not have the ability to force equality. The parent does what it believes is best, even if its wrong.

"Why does the US get to police the world when other states cannot"  - Because it can. 

I deal with this worldist point of view all the time in College.  Where people will try to argue things based on "fairness" its idealistic an stupid.  The world simply doesn't work that way.  I wish it did.

Dont get me confused for someone who is defending my countries policies and choices.  I am simply explaining why it is the way it is.

You missed the point of my posts entirely, I wasn't really asking for an answer, it was rather rhetorical and intended to prove that all sides in this conflicts are being hypocritical. I don't support russia nor USA. I don't dislike america either, although I certainly disagree with their government's policies. 

Oh and don't get me started on my own government.
