Dutch freeze contacts with Iran over hanging

[cali]

The Dutch government has frozen all contacts with Iran in protest over the hanging of a Dutch-Iranian woman.

The Dutch foreign ministry said it was "shocked, shattered by this act by a barbaric regime".

Sahra Bahrami, aged 46, was hanged for drug smuggling early on Saturday, Iranian officials said.

Her family accuses Tehran of fabricating the case against her after she was detained for taking part in anti-government protests in 2009.

1. Fuck those theocrats

I would hope people would start rising up there too, just like in Tunisia and Egypt.

Wouldn't it be simply beautiful if all workers of the world, united at this moment?

Or if workers of the mideast rose up all together?

2. Religion and govrnment don't mix

The reason why I'm so antichristian here. They're like robots... or moths drawn to flame.

3. What concerned me in some of the Al Jazeera interviews

with Iranians, was that they were supporting an alliance between Iran and Egypt. That is the last thing that is needed in that area.
