An example of American intervention being resented by a populace was the Iranian revolution. In that case, cultural ideals that had existed for centuries were washed away in a matter of years by a US sponsored Shah. The people rebelled and an Islamic state was born. Those people hated our guts.

From the article: "The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 12-7 to approve the treaty, known as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women"

Whom gets to define "discrimination"? What is acceptable in some countries is'nt acceptable in others from a cultural stand point...So, who are we, the people of the USA to determine what others do in their own country?

This is a matter of national soveringty not international interventions.
