Dublin protest on Iran anniversary - The Irish Times - Sat, Jun 12, 2010

“Iran today is a prison” | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News.
It is high time the United States and Europe confronted Iran about its history of human rights abuses committed against its own people. Iran is a problem for the world on so many levels: as a nightmare nuclear power, as a sponsor of international terrorism, a nuclear proliferator and a threat to regional stability in the Middle East. But what has often been missing in the international hand-wringing sessions vis-à-vis Iran is the toll the Tehran regime is taking on its own people. Stating that we will deal with whoever is in power is simply not good enough when it comes to certain kinds of regimes. It leaves the Iranian people with the impression that we simple don’t care – and just as bad, it leaves the regime with the feeling that it can act with impunity against its own population.
