Well, I don't think you're a woman. So you'd be unlikely to be sentenced to death for accidentally unveiling your hair in public. Or raped by the revolutionary guard, before being put to death because it's illegal to execute a virgin.

Is it? Whoever you vote for, you get the same policies yes? So why is it inaccurate?
Why can't Iran hold fair elections? No-one in this thread appears to have any issue with the Iranian people or their customs, it's the heads of state where the problems lie.
I don't like Iran's internal laws. But do you know what, it's none of our business. Any more than we would like them telling us how to change OUR laws.
That is an entirely different issue.
I reckon Iran's president is smarter than Cameroon or Obummer, what do you think?
Have you seen the bitches in this part of the world?? No wonder they make 'em where burkas!
Who are we, a modern Western democracy to tell a sexist, barbaric theocracy what to do? I guess that I care more about human life, or something?
Do you know anything about how the Iranian government treats its citizens? About the how the Council of the Islamic Revolution conducts its business? How the Revolutionary Guard acts towards Iranians?I know that answering questions with questions is a cheap way to get ahead in a debate, so I would really appreciate you answering one of the ones I posted before asking more of your own. Also, do you just overlook the fact that Iran is a known sponsor of terror, or do you just write it off because they are rightly labelled as such by the worlds greatest threat, America?
Ignorance is bliss, right? I just cannot be as complacent as you about the needless destruction and ruin of human life. I'm not a conservative, I'm a cosmopolitan. I can't help feeling solidarity and concern when governments carry about disgusting acts, such as the above, against their own people.
If the Iranian people have a problem about how their elections are run, then the iranian people can sort it out.

So you believe in the rule of law and sovereign states etc. provided THEY DO WHAT WE TELL THEM TO DO
Exactly.
Were Thatcher's and Michael Foot's policies alike? Parties have certainly moved closer together in policy terms lately, but they are still very much differentiable.
What would you like done differently? You haven't mentioned the "unfairness" of FPTP so can't be clamouring for proportional representation. We are one of the world's most stable democracies so can't be doing too badly.

If a state murders its own citizens, I oppose that. It doesn't matter if it's in the United States or Iran. I told you, I'm a cosmopolitan, look it up.

Like America did recently, murder one of its own?
I was actually trying to concede more than that, as it was a dig at the US death penalty, but interpret it as you like.Like America did recently, murder one of its own?
Differntiable if you say so.
No, they are the same. Any differences are superficial and the media blows up the tiniest differences to make it seem we have a choice.
Don't take my word for it, and I'm sure you won't. Look at their actual policies, look at what they actually say - you can't get a cigarette paper between them. The idea that they are opposed and that we have a choice is just THEATRE. Here, and in the US. Theatre.

So you disagree when Obama ordered the murder of a US citizen without charge or trial then? Good
It's a contingency plan in the event of a worst case scenario. That's all.
The UK and US have no interest in invading Iran. Hell, the US can't even control Afghanistan. Iran would be a far tougher proposition.
Nothing to see here.
Plenty, via terrorism sponsored by Iran.
