Those whacky Persians and their death sentences. If only they had nuclear arms.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Where is NOW and code Pink demonstrating with pictures against Iranian stoning...?

Nowhere.

[WKUHilltopper]

They’re just demonstrating their love for her. Nothing to see here. It’s the religion of love after all.

[Venturer]

These people are getting wackier by the day and still France is letting them in as immigrants.

What will it take to wake them up?

[Vendome]

Oh now it’s game on!

[Steely Tom]

I’m sure Moochelle will leap to the nearest microphone to give impassioned voice to a sisterly defense of her fellow first lady, to explain how, whatever the differences between peoples, the opinions of everyone are worthy of respect, and that threats of violence, like the violence they sometimes beget, have never solved anything.

We’re waiting, Moochelle!

[rbosque]

Can you feel the ‘love’ coming from the Middle East???

[Vendome]

The hardline newspaper Kayhan first labeled Bruni-Sarkozy a prostitute?

Ridiculous! I never paid her.

[Clintonfatigued]

Nice. It’s interesting how American feminists aren’t denouncing the Iranian government.

Peaceful muslims.

[Gabrial]

Come on now, they have put a lot of thought into these quaint traditions and practices. Even the size of the stones are regulated so they don't kill the subject to fast or too slowly. You can also get beaten if you throw the stones too hard and cause death too quickly. This is not some barbaric unregulated mob-led snuff job. It has to be done by the book to cause the maximum amount of pain and suffering before death. Maximum pain and suffering is the goal, they know exactly what they are doing, and they are very good at it. Such are the teachings of these great cultural and religious leaders.

[Da Coyote]

Muslim governments are managing to get an even worse reputation than Stalin or Hitler.

At least those creeps tried to hide their depravity.

As for Imams...well, someTHINGs have to be mostest sleazy human slimeballs in the multiverse.

[McLynnan]

You think Sarkozy will defend her honor?

[reagan_fanatic]

Blah blah blah.

Ten to one these putzes go home, lock all the doors and pound themselves bloody over her pictures.

The Face That Launched a Thousand French Cruise Missiles

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

This sounds like a “Some Muslim should assassinate her” death fatwa.

The Iranians are cagey when it comes to foreign policy, in that their government does not speak with one voice. Instead, different leaders announce different decisions, but each pretend they are authoritative.

This means they can pick and choose after the fact which policy is “real” or not, and disavow the others.

I think they originally threatened Salman Rushdie this way, with a “Any good Muslim should kill him” fatwa, before it was made official by their head Ayatollah.

In any event, the French Intelligence and Security services should take this very, very seriously.

As a diplomatic rule of thumb, internationally, leaders almost always try to refrain from putting out contracts on each other, because it puts their own lives on the line as well. Officially, even the US government has as official policy that they will not assassinate foreign *leaders*.

(Foreign non-leaders, and domestic leaders, such as former Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, don’t count.)

However, I have no idea what the protocols would be for assassinating foreign leaders family members. I strongly suggest that it would be very, very bloody.

[healy61]

What is Iran running, and international last man standing contest. Sheesh, they are always gonna kill someone.
