Tons more. What do you think?

I am 100% against invading a sovereign country that has not attacked us in any way (Iraq attempted to assassinate our President after we defended Kuwait against them, and Afghanistan really blew it).

But to see people post question asking what Iran has done wrong is beyond the pale.

Educate yourselves, folks. Read all sides.

OpenYourEyes: You mean that no one has the right to speak up about these things? Then why are you? We should ignore these things because of our own poor choices? You confuse awareness with judgment. I am not judging them. You don't seem to know the difference.

We have free speech. We do not have to be in a totally fresh, new, untainted country to comment on such things. Insisting on no one saying anything if their country has done anything wrong is just silly.

When I work with children, I'm always amazed when they turn around and say, "Well, Johnny did it!" as if that excuses the behavior.

Israel? Turkey? The United States? Did I say anything about them NOT doing anything wrong? Goodness sake, folks, gets some focus! You'd think we lived in your own little censorship regime the way you talk.

"How DARE you say anything bad about another country without dragging your own and other countries into the argument!"

I'm not writing a paper here. Just commenting on Iran, vs. a previous poster who posted the opposite view. If you are going to argue, at least address the issue, don't repeat the old, "Well, HE did it, too!" argument.

It's silly.

Answer 1

well... the only real question is...

where do we draw the line?

China, I would bet has more violations...

N. Korea too...

Darfur/Sudan as well...

Columbia too...

well, probably half of Asia, two thirds of Africa and a good half of South America all have very similar problems with human rights...

should we invade them all? China and N.Korea already have nukes too

the rights records of all these nations aren't secret... and they are all horrible...

I wouldn't say "we shouldn't do anything"... but I really don't know what to do at the same time...

Answer 3

Probably the same as Israel,Turkey and a slew of African nations think of their human rights violations.

"But to see people post question asking what Iran has done wrong is beyond the pale."
How do we invade/attack/control every nation that violates human rights. We are even guilty,the last war we had with ourselves was not a good thing. Solutions are needed,not blame,posturing or rhetoric.

Answer 4

Let's see how were the blacks treated in your nation a few decades ago? Native Indians were they treated Ok? How about the Japanese were they happy to have 100s of thousands of their innocent civilians wiped from the face of the Earth? How about the many thousands of Vietnamese women and children wiped out during the Vietnam war? Is the US really in any position to talk about the rights of other humans seeing as they have destroyed so many lives themselves? Is it a violation of your human rights if you are killed by an attacking nation or is that not in the rule book?

Human rights? A country such as yours has no right to talk about the rights of humans. Your history shows that you had to work through your own problems to get where you are today. Did anyone force you to change your ways? Did you progress off your own steam or did some other nation try to force you into doing things how they thought things should be done? Your nation should keep it's nose out of other nation's business or maybe one day you might find it get's chewed off. You don't have the monopoly on what is right. What is right for some is not right for other's. You don't have the right to force people to change. Your nation hasn't got a very good track record and reminds me of the saying the pot calling the kettle black.

Answer 5

I assume that they think it is none of our business.
If we are counting human rights issues, of Iran or any other country outside the US, I say we better look at our own, not only in our own country but other countries that we "helped"
I wonder what right do we have, pushing Democracy into places who don't even know what the word means.
Our country needs help, and who is there to help us?

What does Israel think?
