Pardon me to be so polemic, but what kind of progressive values do you have in mind? Political assassinations by drone strikes that kill hundreds of children and women as bystanders?
There's no relation between the two. The progressive values are things like freedom of expression and free journalism. These stand in contrast to nations like Turkey and China, and their internet policy.
What, which rights we foreigners have that the USA actually respect in practice is not important for judging how relevant American values are to the rest of the world?
Maybe no relation but there might be one... Do you know the reasons why they killed all those people with drones? It could be because of their speech... (but the reason why they did it is probably top-secret)
Which is a situation much more complicated than a holier-than-thou one liner. You're also forgetting that innocent men are killed in the strikes too, which is just as tragic (or maybe more tragic since apparently nobody cares about them).
There is nothing complicated about drone strikes. They are conducted without judicial oversight and without any process, let alone due process, and provably kill more non-combatant civilians than enemy combatants. They are well-documented and there are long lists of the victims with age, name and sometimes even pictures.
Therefore, naive as I am, I thought in my previous contribution: Why not judge a country's values on the basis of their actions rather than on the basis of internal propaganda or wishful thinking.
