They Don't Care If You Die

Roxanana Sabin has been jailed in Iran on “spying” charges, and is going on a hunger strike. But it’s not going to work. The Iranians, like the Russians before them, don’t care if their victims die. They’re being used to make a political point that is false; that people would be interested in spying on them and that members of the press are doing it instead of the government representatives, who usually have diplomatic immunity. For my part, I am not interested in ANYTHING Iran does, as long as they NEVER get the ability to send an atomic bomb into the United States. Why? Because Iran is run by people who are insane! And, unlike the Russians who came before, are VERY likely to use them irresponsibly. Just like other, “stateless” terrorists. The only difference between other Islamic terrorists and Iranians is a recognized sovereign state. But otherwise, they’re the same. They don’t care about killing innocent people to make their political points, so a hunger strike just isn’t going to work—unless their point requires the victim to stay alive. (Yahoo News/AP)
