Iran is portrayed as part of the 'Axis of Evil', as a 'Rogue State' etc, but when you examine the evidence why is Iran any more evil than the US?

Simple.... they are dangerous cos they are not lackey's.
And due to the spin off from historical interference in Iranian internal affairs by the US, the American public is already pre-conditioned to view them as "The enemy" :nopity:
So they fit the bill of being bush's new whipping boy. *shrugs*

give me a fvckin break.
we aren't controlled by a crackpot dictator who's hell bent on the destruction of countries with his soon to be completed nuclear capabilities, who don't adhere to his outlook.

and don't come back with the same old tired sniping about our current president.
it's played out.

so many of you who frequent this section of the forum are educated far past your intelligence.

and this thread and all the soon to be posted scathing remarks, are proof of just that.

What makes you so sure that applies to Iran? Is Khatami crazy? Who have Iran invaded in the last 28 years?

If you want to make such statements please back them up with some reasoned arguments.

You are aware your beloved "crackpot dictator" was popularly elected, right?

That's more like it. An interesting comparison would be the number of people executed by the state (per-capita to be fair). Maybe I'll google.

Edit: So I did, for 2005 the USA executed 60, Iran 94. Population of USA: 300 million, Iran:68.5 million.

according to commondreams, iran (population about a fifith of the u.s.) executed 159 to our 59 (2004 figures). to be fair, i believe they have a broader definition of a capital offense, to include various crimes against islam - most notably apostasy.

interestingly, california has executed 1% of those convicted of a capital crime. iran's justice is rather swift, especially in the case of last month's bus bomber

my spidey senses tell me you're finding similar numbers now.

So there is certainly a strike against Iran as regards capital punishment and I daresay that corporal punishment would follow the same pattern.

That does not make Iran any threat to the rest of the world, which is an aspect of the propaganda that is being heavily pushed right now.
