By asking for this you are asking for government to intervene in areas that they think this may be happening. US intervention = BAD. Better to deal with amnesty international of human rights watch. I can't ask for even more government intervention... it always leads to war.
Besides - this is ridiculous anyway. Asking US to do something regarding human rights?! What do we know about human rights? We are one of the absolute worst human rights offenders on the planet.
