Last week Barack Obama decided to defund an organization called the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center and it hasn't taken long to see the effects. Yesterday the Iranians announced the sentencing to death of 3 people who participated in the street protests in the wake of the recent elections and today comes word that they carried out the execution of 18 year old who was convicted of murder, in a case that at least raises the question that it was a case of self defense.
Gee I wonder what the odds are that they will stop their march towards getting nuclear weapons?
This is what weakness, either real or perceived, in foreign policy will get you. But let's go ahead and ignore all of the human rights abuses so we can extend a hand and make friends. The problem with extending a hand to your enemies is that one of these times you are going to pull back a nub.
