Don't you mean when will it be Lebanon's turn?I guess Iran will be attacked soon because of all the news stories. I wonder where all the Israelis will run to.
How is that 'common knowledge' gathered if Iran is such a closed country? You use those terms as if the Us, Britain, Israel, etc don't use those same tactics and a much more frequent and 'hidden' way. You are quite liberal to denounce deaths that come from beatings while in custody if it concerns Iran, you mouth is firmly zipped tight when it comes to condemning torture and deaths that happen in places run by the US or Israel.It is common knowledge that the Iranian Govt and their Religious thugs use every known tactic to intimidate - Torture - rape - murder - these are the ones you defend -
So bringing up US abuses is crap but when Iran is running the prison it's headline news.Of course you will say the US is to blame - drag some crap up from the days of the Shah and SAVAK -
I doubt they were anymore scared than the US gov was when students were opposing the Viet Nam war.The Iranian regime is scared to death of the youth rebellion they are encountering - It would not surprise me in the least that they will use live ammunition in the event that an anti -Govt protest goes to far. Waiting for your reply. Your Pal Goober.

"The Kent State shootings, also known as the May 4 massacre or Kent-State massacre,[2][3][4] occurred at Kent State University in the city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[5]"
Notice that unlike in the US Britain or Israel there are going to be trials.http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/iran-admits-jailed-protesters-were-beaten-to-death/article1406495/
Iran's hard-line judiciary acknowledged for the first time Saturday that at least three prisoners detained after June's disputed presidential election were beaten to death by their jailers, confirming a key claim by the country's opposition movement.
The surprising acknowledgment followed months of repeated denials by police and other authorities that the deaths of protesters in Iranian custody were caused by abuse.In a statement, the judiciary said 12 officials at Kahrizak prison were charged – three of them with murder. The prison, on the southern outskirts of the capital, Tehran, was at the centre of the opposition's claims that prisoners were tortured and raped in custody.
It's one thing to seek change in the Government in ones own country, it's something else when you attempt to organize riots. The latter could see a treason charge.
