If you honestly think merely talking about human rights abuses, is better than rectifying them, then I am glad you aren't in charge of my human and civil rights.

Because if anything happens that someone (usually the Americans) doesn't like (such as condemning Israel for Human Rights abuses) the Yanks veto it.

Because the US vetoed Rwandan resolutions (of course, the UN didn't get that far, t? Because the US vetoed Iraqi resolutions? Because the US vetoed resolutions against, Libya, Iran, China, North Korea? Furthermore The US vetoing the condemnations of Israeli actions (which lets face it, being condemned by the UN verbally is hardly the end of the world. You know they won't do anything about it.) is nothing to do with the situation in Iraq.

Like you say I have the right to criticise whoever I want. Unlike you, I am willing to actually stick my neck out and say what I think would do better. It might not work, but I am trying. Could you say the same thing?
