    I feel like if this passed we would end up using it as a free pass to nuke certain countries that we (not me, but you know) wanted to nuke anyway.

    The US should start by defending LGBTQ rights in its own country first. They’re not doing too great on that front lately.

    Typical American exceptionalism to believe that they should get to be the arbiter of right and wrong, when they do little else but get things wrong. Imagine the U.S. trying to bring “democracy” to other countries? Oh, wait…
