yes i would agree and am from the U.K.
human rights abuses are a crime regardless of what country committed it, you cannot really condemn one country for it but excuse another. but we know a lot of people will try.
people seem to fight for justice and rights of people in other countries like iran, but then excuse it when it is on their own backdoor and threatens their own rights, i have never understood that.

I love it when the under dog gets a good one in there
American prisons and jails held 2,304,115 inmates in 2008.[2] Approximately one in every 18 men in the United States is behind bars or being monitored. A significantly greater percentage of the American population is in some form of correctional control even though crime rates have declined by about 25 percent from 1988-2008.[11] 70% of prisoners in the United States are non-whites.[12] In recent decades the U.S. has experienced a surge in its prison population, quadrupling since 1980, partially as a result of mandated sentences that came about during the "war on drugs." Violent crime and property crime have declined since the early 1990s.[13]

I don't agree with what the US does either. But I can't stand the short-sightedness of some who indirectly support the murderous regime of Iran because of their hate for US and UK.

Is that a serious question???
Your anti-American bias is transparent. You have an agenda and will not want to hear anything that is against your agenda. So nice try. You're not worth my time.

who's supporting iran? what iran does to its people is wrong and they are reported for it all the time.
why does that mean human rights abuses should be ignored if it happens in the U.S. or U.K.? should they not be reported to?
or is it the classical case of blast even one else when they do it, but it is fine when and if it happens in your country or my country?

i am quoting and replying again to point something out you may not of thought about.
if you make it o.k. for the u.s. and the u.k. to commit human rights abuses, either by excusing it or by iran reporting it and it being ignored, then what you are doing is giving iran justification to commit human rights abuses in their country.
so why are you supporting iran?
