And given them aid to do things like that is just taking part in the oppression, and I personally don't want my tax dollars going to that.
I quite agree. I would like to see the administration commit to the same broad sanctions that Cameron has. Though, GB doesn't have as narrow a diplomatic tight rope to walk and can afford more direct responses. An envious position, to be sure.
