Are you ready?

Are you ready to hear the TRUTH? Do you think you can handle the TRUTH?

I refer to the truth of what it means to live under a TRUE theocracy....not the one that the left imagines Christians are plotting for them....the true theocracy of Sharia law. The Iranian government has started cracking down on dissent in that country. Michelle Malkin and Captain Ed both have the pictures and the disturbing video that everyone MUST see.

One question that desperately needs an answer - where is Amnesty International? Where are the so called human rights organizations that are supposedly looking out for this kind of activity? Why is there no outcry or coverage from the US Press?

The reason why I tend to highlight these kinds of stories is because we Americans really don't have a clue what real torture is, what real human rights violations are. We are so abundently blessed in this country that we really don't know what real hardship is. We tend to critique that which we know and we forget that we are a part of a much larger world and that the much larger world has even bigger problems than we do. Retrospection and self examination is a good thing, but only if we do it in light of our place in the larger world. Yes, we have our problems and our abusers, but in light of what is happening in Iran today, can you honestly say that George W. Bush's America is the worlds worst violator of human rights?
