I agree. That is basically what I typed above (sorry for the typo - change "but" to "must"): "That message [must] not be 'do as we say' but rather 'take some responsibility.' We have a difficult time sending that message to many of our own citizens. Ensuring that it is received by those outside of our country won't be quick or easy."

Identifying the problem is the easy part. How do we get them to do it? How do we get other countries/nations to take responsibility?
