Serious Question: Are world leaders blind to his actions?

[steffychun]

Let's face it. Not just in the controlled Singapore media, but in the Australian Parliament, the British Parliament, and across the globe, world leaders/heads of state, former world leaders, diplomats, parlimentarians etc etc have been praising you know who for his leadership, his guidance, his cleverness, his (insert all the positive adjectives)....

And it's not like they don't know what he did adversely to his opponents, to certain people, to some normal citizens. It's not like they haven't heard of te law suits etc etc (UK Liberal Democrats have questioned the treatment of Chee SJ).

So really, are these people blind? In other countries, if leader xyz commits a human right violation or creates a dictatorship, the world, esp the West will be quick to condemn, even bringing it up in the (often useless) UN. Sometimes you get sanctions imposed (like Cuba, like North Korea, like Myanmar for a long time). Sometimes you even see the West starting to initiate covert operations to overthrow the government (South America in the 1970s and 1980s). Some times you see the West even bombing/striking the country (Kosovo, Iraq, Libya etc). On the extremes you get the West invading the country (Iraq 2003, the Balkans to some degree).

Why was Singapore (under him and Goh and Junior) never treated like this? Why no condemnation? Why no sanctions? Why no liberation like in Iraq?

Or are world leaders really blind?

Politicians cut deals, are flexible and understand how handle power. Only peasants and kids think of the world in black-and-white. Lim Chin Siong, Chee Soon Juan, JBJ, KJ, Roy are all kids who still need to be diapered.

No they aren't blind but surely you're smart enough to know that the world doesn't function like a fairy tale where everything is black and white with the good guys on one side and the baddies on the other.

LKY changed the lives of more than 2.5 million people for the better. Yes a few people were sacrificed in the process but even the West acknowledges that it was probably justifiable at the time. The US, supposedly a beacon of democracy, has done far worse.

All the other despots you mention were mass murderers who did nothing to raise the standard of living in their countries. There is no comparison.

Other countries have their Chees and JBJs. West are quick to condemn these govts and even bomb or invade. Why not Singapore?
