Iran hangs 16 year old girl: Sharia at work.

randman,
Until your country (one of the heaviest users of the death penalty, and with the biggest per capita prison population in the world) stops using the death penalty, I think it would be sensible not to criticize it in other countries.Frankly, an American cricizing another country for using the death penalty is laughable, as you are the most blood-thirsty scumbags possible to imagine when it comes to legal punishment.in edit: most civilized countries got rid of the death penalty long ago. For example, it is a requirement of any country joining the European Union that they should not have a death penalty. The United States is unusually barbarous in this respect.

It's not a double standard. The rule is:Political and economic power give the right to kill and torture, for profit.There's no double standard there.

In my view, the neocons are overtly fascist. The problem for you and I is that few in positions of political authority care. They simply do not give a fuck.Edited by mick, : No reason given.
