The drum beats for war with Iran has been ongoing for some time now. The usual suspects have been propganding that Iran is a Nuclear Threat, this despite the IAEA stating that no evidence exists.
When this fails they often go to demonising the horrible conditions for minority groups (women, Gays etc) in Iran, as they did to justify the war with Iraq when the WMD lie was exposed.
Next time they do, I suggest you refer them to this BBC article (link below).
While Iran is demonised, Saudi Royalty is wined & dined with a sickening state reception.
Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed
"An appeal court in Saudi Arabia has doubled the number of lashes and added a jail sentence as punishment for a woman who was gang-raped."
BBC Linky
Kinda reminds me of the wink wink, nudge nudge treatment given to Saddam while he gased the kurds.
As ever the argument of attacking Iran over it's human rights records falls flat on it's face because of their greedy hypocracy.

As highlighted Iran DOES permit horrible conditions for minority groups, such as gays etc. No one should pretend Iran is the land of milk & honey.
The point is the powers that be often call to account these conditions as an excuse for "Regime Change" in Iran, while at the same time hosting a state banquet for Saudi royalty who promote similar conditions.
Therefore their justification falls flat & exposes their hypocracy.

Speaking Haifa's Reali High School, Weizman said he considered homosexuality abnormal and a negative trait, like alcoholism.
| Ezer Weizman - former President of Israel wrote: |
I like it when a man wants to be a man and a woman wants to be a woman, I personally view homosexuality as something negative. The question is how to deal with this phenomena, this social anomaly."
Weizman added that the Bible proscribes homosexuality and sodomy. "I hope you are not in favor of sodomy," he told one pupil who had asked the president about his stand on sodomy. |
Speaking at Haifa's Reali High School, Weizman said he considered homosexuality abnormal and a negative trait, like alcoholism. The Israeli president "inflamed the haredi community and more extremist elements in Israel. It was an invitation to violence.
Weizman, who said he would oppose any law allowing gay marriage, also called for a law governing "how to relate to homosexuality" in general.
"I am aware that homos suffer in society. I'm not pleased about that. But," he said, "there is too much fuss about this. It is exaggerated. It has turned homosexuality into something beautiful."
So you want to invade to promote Gay rights?
Start with Jamaica, Albania, Saudi Arabia, Eastern Europe oh and dont forget Israel.

Israeli bomber seized before Jerusalem gay parade
by Avida Landau
Israeli police detained an Orthodox Jewish man carrying a homemade bomb in Jerusalem as thousands of Israelis marched in support of gay rights in defiance of religious protesters.
"Police stopped a 32-year-old religious Jew who was carrying a homemade explosive device," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said of the arrest before the annual Gay Pride march began.
About 7,000 police officers had deployed inside and around Jerusalem to protect the marchers -- about 2,000 of them by police estimates -- after threats from religious Jews, who take exception to the event being held in a city they hold sacred.
One man evaded police to approach marchers yelling: "Filth! Get out of Jerusalem!." He was escorted away by police.
In 2005, an Orthodox Jew stabbed and wounded three marchers and fears of violence caused a march to be cancelled last year. |
