If you honestly think the US legal system is comparable to legal systems from the Dark Ages, you need to get off the internet and go to the library a bit more.

How do you figure?

Go read about the US legal system and then read about legal systems from the Dark Ages and you'll figure it out yourself.

So, you aren't going to cite any examples?

as far as I know, it was a case of self defense.  stab this guy in the chest or get raped situation.

Please inform us of 'Irans ambitions'. Have you done extensive polling of the Iranian populace, in depth interviews of Iranian officials or just read some biased crap in the media?

Edit: remember that according to repeated polls, the rest of the world views the US as the biggest pain in the world's ass, not Iran.

In that case it's a damn shame no one takes what the US says on the issue of weapons of mass destruction seriously anymore.

I don't know.  It certainly sounds possible (though unlikely given that there were males accompanying them), but I'll reserve judgement until after I get information from a reliable source.

Where did I say that?

You said that Mao couldn't be put as a dictator with Stalin and Hitler remember? You said that I'd listed 2 maybe 3 with Saddam.

Does nobody even think to look in their own back yard?

"The crime for which Patterson was executed, was committed when he was 17 years of age and still a juvenile. At that time, the U.S. Supreme Court applied its earlier ruling in Stanford vs. Kentucky 492 U.S. 361 1989 where Justice Scalia concluded that there was neither "a historical nor a modern societal consensus forbidding the imposition of Capital Punishment of any person who murders at 16 or 17 years of age".

Execution in the US for crimes committed as a minor, was upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court in 2002.  This was overturned in 2005 (with a 5-4 decision)...we're just 3 years out of the dark on this.  Hardly a case for "American Values".

Iran executed someone for capital murder who was 17...we've done that many times over in the last 50 years.

This march to war with Iran is ridiculous on the basis of human rights, you should try Saudi Arabia or Yemen for the real horror shows.

Fixed. There is no "march to war with Iran". To keep claiming that in the face of all the purely diplomatic efforts (with more rhetoric from the EU than the US) is ridiculous.

You're the one who made the comparison, not me.

No, I commented that it was funny that people in the US made the comparison between Iran and the Dark Ages.
