Just another perspective...

We can govern what is ours, and we can set a good example.  I am inspired
by the pacifist Quakers in World War II who were conscientious
objectors--they did not burn flags and protest, but instead went as
stretcher bearers and ambulance drivers and medics and various other
roles.

I, too, am appalled by what goes on in some other parts of the world.  But
we Americans are slow to learn that we cannot change other cultures by
boycott--we can only change them by being involved and setting a better
example.

Granted, it is difficult to walk a path of involvement while maintaining
one's own standards.  But in the long run, it gets more permanent results.

Just my humble opinion.
