If someone is 'the protector of freedom' and if 'the protector of freedom' is someone that doesn't boycott Syria, then that leaves Japan, South Korea, Australia and countries who's government don't make decisions based upon enlightenment values.

If I were you, I'd question myself why I create strawmen, am I interested in the truth, or am I guided by misplaced nationalism?
