	The Peace Encyclopedia: Double Standards
		The "Double Standard" is that all must view favorably the self-styled claims of Islam while dismissing the Jewish claim to the Land of Israel which dates back 4000 years.
		"Double Standards" applied against the Jews in the 30s and 40s that spawned the Holocaust have been delineated competently in many, many books.(4) It is merely necessary to note that the simple phrase "Double Standard" was the very foundation operative in causing and actuating the Holocaust.
		The lesson should not be lost that reliance upon hatred of an external enemy is the hallmark of dictatorships generally, and particularly in the Middle East.

	ALU Archive: WTO - A Dictatorship of Secrecy and Double Standards
		This is where the concept of the 'race to the bottom' in international labour standards is very clearly demonstrated.
		In a similar case to the banana dispute, because of the EU refusal to import US beef which is largely produced with the use of growth hormones, in March 1999 the WTO legitimated USA import sanctions on US$117 million worth of goods from the EU.
		Although GATT liberalised aspects of trade in the interests of industrialised countries, it was protectionist towards ownership of technology and intellectual property rights, and refused Third World suggestions to liberalise the movement of labour between member states.

	Africa Action: Africa's Debt & Iraq's Debt - Washington's Double Standard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The following talking points explore the double standard in U.S. policy that brings the White House to advocate for the cancellation of Iraq’s unsustainable debt burden but causes it to ignore the massive debt crisis faced by African countries.
		Such a blatant double standard in U.S. foreign policy must be exposed and rejected outright.
		Declare a moratorium on debt repayments by African countries until such time as an inventory of these debts has been compiled and the costs of 100% cancellation have been determined, these two studies providing a foundation for moving towards a just resolution to the continent's debt crisis.

	In Defence of Marxism - Pakistan: the retreat of the generals - from here, but to where? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The possibility of tolerance, harmony and stability by the action of the Musharraf dictatorship being propagated by the regime and echoed by liberals and ex-lefts is nothing but a vicious deception.
		To create illusions in such a dictatorship is criminal and tantamount to the subjugation of a mass workers' movement to a reactionary and vicious bourgeois state.
		Hence it is vital to expose the hypocrisy of the dictatorship, its double standards and its real class character.

		The true orthodox physician, if one uses Hippocrates as the standard, is now referred to as the "alternative" or "holistic" physician.
		The actual occurrence of the cover-up and masking of the failures in the "infallibility" of the double-blind criteria of proof is much greater than admitted or known, because of the limitations inherent in the allopathic philosophy and its intolerance to any other point of view.
		As long as the dictatorship of allopathic medicine reigns, fostered by the powerful and politically influential pharmaceutical industry, the public will be denied the right of informed freedom of choice in health and disease care.

	Some Reflections on Honesty in Politics - Maley - Talks - Uniya
		We have reached a sad pass where not only have standards of honesty fallen at elite level, but the willingness of the mass public to make honesty a criterion of where to allocate their votes has also diminished.
		However, there are three other forms of departure from high standards of honesty which also deserve attention: ‘recklessness’ with the truth, the telling of ‘half-truths’, and ‘hypocrisy’.
		Hypocrisy, the application of different standards to situations which should be treated similarly, is a deeply insidious form of dishonesty.

		In it she argued that it was incumbent on the United States to differentiate between authoritarian regimes and totalitarian regimes.
		The fact that Kirkpatrick became a major player in the administration the defeated Communism and won the Cold War, the degree to which her ideas were turned into official U. policy, and the prophetic quality of much that she wrote, makes them well worth your while.

		She gave the big speech at the 1984 GOP convention, leading the massed Republicans in a chant of "they always blame America first."
		Kirkpatrick's article, "Dictatorship and Double Standards," was a ferocious attack on President Jimmy Carter for trying to "impose liberalization and democratization" on other countries.
		She mocked "the belief that it is possible to democratize governments anytime, anywhere, under any circumstances." Democracy, she said, depends "on complex social, cultural, and economic conditions." It takes "decades, if not centuries."

	Political Affairs Magazine - US Foreign Policy Double Standards
		Pakistan is groaning under a military dictatorship following General Musharraf's coup d'etat, but he has paid lip service to the US war on terror, so his regime is regarded as objectively pro-democracy.
		Such double standards are not a problem for Ms Rice, since she has taken her lesson from her commander in chief.
		Just weeks after proclaiming the rebirth of democracy in Iraq, where the US continues its illegal war, Mr Bush was blissfully unaware of any irony in lecturing the Syrian government to remove its troops from Lebanon on the grounds that free elections under military occupation were impossible.

		The "Anybody but Bush" (ABB) movement is founded on a basically irrational hatred of Bush that completely ignores the record of the Democrats the last time they were in power.
		The ABB movement practices a double standard: when Republicans do something it’s wrong but when Democrats do the same thing it’s okay (or didn’t happen at all).

		It was thus possible to assert a rank order among regime types: democracy, good; authoritarian, ranging from benevolent to brutal dictatorship, not good to bad; totalitarian/communist, worst of all.
		This policy would necessarily entail support for certain unsavory authoritarian governments in their efforts to combat local communist insurrections (which, inevitably, traveled under the flag of national liberation movements).

		Syria’s inhabitants are ruled by a dictatorship that maintains a tight grip on most aspects of public life.
		If members of Congress were also to sanction the Bush administration for its illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq and if they were to sponsor an Israel Accountability Act, then the Syria act would appear less of a farce.
		The U.S. government would need to be careful, however, not to fall down the slippery slope whereby its pronouncements evolve into mandates for the use of military force against the targeted nation or into restrictions on U.S. citizens from conducting business or other affairs in the targeted nation.

		Sukarno’s "guided democracy," the Indonesian style, was as laughable as Mao’s "dictatorship of people’s democracy." Authoritarian leaders in Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Thailand have had to reckon, strategically or tactically, with popular clarion calls to democracy and press freedom.
		The Maoist mass-line model came closest to being most radical and romantic of all participatory democracies, to the extreme point that it was thoroughly anti-organizational, anti-legal, and anti-professional, both in politics and in media.
