Iran is not better and no worse than the countries mentioned. Even people in Israel know that. Would just love to know what Nettie really things of Biard. Biard is not foreign affairs material, well not that the rest of them are either, but he is less desirable in the position than others. All countries have human rights issues. We need to clean up our own back yards before we get on other countries cases. That is not to say we should not encourage other countries to at least stop persecuting and killing those who are not like them.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-5197998085462974362013-12-12T23:15:07.403-05:002013-12-12T23:15:07.403-05:00hi Lorne…Their actions are bad enough, but what ma...hi Lorne…Their actions are bad enough, but what makes it even worse is the way they claim to be human right's champions.

It's unbelievable how much harm Harper and his Cons (and Rob Ford) are doing to our image abroad.
