Four more men were hanged in public in the southern
province of Fars on Wednesday, bringing the total number of people
executed in Iran in one day to at least 21. The mass executions were
carried out a day after the United Nations High Commissioner for Human
Rights Louise Arbour visited Tehran.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, traveled to Iran this week to take a front row seat and listen attentively to Holocaust-denier Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The occasion was billed as a human rights meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), currently chaired by Cuba.

While Arbour was hobnobbing with anti-semites, butchers and anti-democratic forces from around the world, Iranians were being prepared for public hangings. Arbour was reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency as having "expressed pleasure with being at the NAM meeting and described Iran's representation office in the UN in Geneva as "very good." In an unusual move, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has so far neglected to put her official statement on their website.

Putting real facts and numbers just weakens your little argument doesn't it.

Unfortunately, for you, 57 people were executed in the U.S. last year. Not even close to the 18,000 in China, 181 in Iran (hmmm... you might have a case here).

Hope and Pray that they'll execute 5,000 people in the U.S next year. That'll make your day I'm sure, since you really don't care about the deaths but only about bashing the U.S.

Hmmmm. Chavez, Mahmoud, Moonwolf (the loser) and Bin Laden? Seems like you'll fit right in. LOL

I didn't include Fidel Castro since he's got more brain cells than the four of you combined.

Next time, you might want to pick on gun violence, illegal immigration, anything.. but not drugs, health care (yours is worse), and prostitution. We all know about the growing prostitution and drug problem in Canada.

Here, here berlin. I agree that flaming anti-americanism in no way adds to the context of the post. However, your Flaming insults of Moonwolf violate NP policy, please keep it CIVIL.
