29. Sometimes doing the right thing offends those in the wrong
One does not have a moral obligation to ensure that everyone likes you, especially if their approval is dependent on you doing an unjust thing. If some elements of the world are upset about the US' committment to freedom and democracy, then it reflects more on these nations than the US. One should question Syria and Iran about why they are intolerant towards Israel, rather than attempt to seek their approval.
