Ethical behaviour is right for everyone, but the ethical behaviour of each one will be based on his or her standards of right and wrong. Acting in ways consistent with one's view of right and wrong will (or should), for example, be based on the understanding of the Old Testament for the Jew, the Bible (OT & NT) for the Christian, the Qur'an for the Muslim, the Bhagavad Gita for the Hindu, and so on. Since the U. S. of America is neither Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or Hindu, it seems to me that the ethics of the nation must be based on its laws and Constitution, and acting in ways consistent with that. So, imo, the ethical argument here is not whether the U.S. should act like Christians should act, or even according to what 181 other nations do.
