US Secretary of State Condolezza Rice has released the U.S. Department of State's Annual Report on International Religious Freedom. Here's the report in question.
Personally speaking, the summary is far too self-righteous for my taste. Do not like that language at all. The difference between this drivel and USA's actions is far too much for my taste (such as the US opposition to funding for abortion as a measure of family planning, that's clearly imposing American religious beliefs on others). But this report has repercussions and it behoves us to review it.
That said, the report singles out Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Uzbekistan for particular concern. These are the real bad boys, apparently. But there are other countries, such as Israel, India, Russia, Vietnam Venezeula, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Maldives, etc. who are also of slightly less concern.
So what's going to happen after all this self righteous, pontificating, blithering drivel has been sent to the US Congress?
Zero, Nada, nothing.

All this to be taken with a grain of piquant salt!!!
