I'm with the grandmother.

We don't need these people. Let them deal with their own problems. ok, disinvest, sanction, whatever, but leave them alone. Don't send our kids to die in the mid-east.

I don't think the US does anything here. Maybe the UN issues a report, somebody gets yelled at, I get the sense that this is business as usual. On the other hand as a human being, this is unacceptable and pisses me off. People need to be treated with dignity, not sexual abuse as a means of political control - disgusting.
