#1 And who knows if they had anything to do with it.

As for the "Death to [insert convenient boogeyman here]" thingy. We'll be seeing you soon. Remember to think in three dimensions, k?

#2 Thousand of human rights orgs and left wing politicos immediately denounced the hangings.

Oh wait a minute... Nevermind.

#3 Never mind the Lefties. What kind of play does this get on Arab TV?

#4 The way to respond to this is tit-for-tat. The Arabs should snatch several rank and file enforcers and string them up on light poles. Nobody special, just ordinary thugs they could find anywhere.

The point is that ordinary thugs working for a regime have a very strong union. They don't like the idea of being punished for their brutality at all.

#5 Iranian state television carried footage of the execution, with the crowd of onlookers being egged on to chant "Death to America! Death to Israel! Death to England!"

LOL, I love the reference to hold the hangin' an hour early as to not disturb traffic. The above quote though, tweaked my Persian Decoder Ring(tm) a lil'. How in the world do you (logically) protest the US, Israel or Britain at a hanging of ARAB boomers? I gotta get that Ring re-calibrated, lol.
