It can't be true...Amnesty International hasn't said anything about it, the UN Committee on Human Rights hasn't said anything about it, Cindy Sheehan is protesting it, Michael Moore isn't making a Movie to expose it. Nope can't be true for all those reasons. < / QUANTUM MEGA SARC

I can only hope the EU members have seen this.

We can directly thank Jimmuh Cartuh for the proliferance of this kind of abuse. I wandered around the site, and was disgusted. Iranian students are tough, but they can't unrun bullets. What to do? ( I've got a few ideas, but am not posting them here)

The EU is run by socialists that would rather chop off their own hand than do anything that would give the slightest impression they support us.

Wheres the outrage from our "friends" at the UN and ACLU? Oh, sorry - theyre too busy defending the rights of terrorists at Gitmo to be bothered.

[TomasUSMC]

Why does our President continue to allow Iran to sprint down the path towards NUKES?

[LoudRepublicangirl]

The world doesn't stop to look at this as torture when we have terrorists who have panties on their heads and (trumped up) stories of their korans being used as toilet paper. According to the rest of the world this guy wasn't tortured. It was a boyish prank heaped out by the government of Iran.

[mvpel]

And people are STILL prattling on about whether or not the Iranian government has actually mandated distinctive colors to identify non-Muslim minorities.

WHO CARES WHEN THIS KIND OF MONSTROSITY IS GOING ON??

[billbears]

But it seems otherwise impossible to convince Western leaders that we are confronting a monstrous evil, that seeks to destroy or dominate us by all possible means. The sort of horror you see on this video is repeated every day, sometimes leading to execution, sometimes to further sadism.

Oh yes, I can't tell you the numerous Muslims I had to fight through to get to church this morning....

She (United States)will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force.... She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit.... -- John Quincy Adams

Well we'll just toss that right out the window shall we? We've got to spread democracy...if the Iranians want freedom, let them rise up and take it.

@"President Bush: why have you not instructed your people to give vigorous support to the Iranian democratic opposition? what on earth are you waiting for? "

Which democratic opposition would that be?
