When you have a totalitarian regime like Iran, run by a bunch of thuggish Mullahs, I suppose public hangings of the recent protesters and dissidents does a lot for controlling the masses.
Is Iran Hanging Protesters?
According to reports, the harsh crackdown by the Mullahs on protesters from the recent demonstrations in Iran has begun. Public hangings in the streets of six Mousavi supporters occurred in the holy city of Mashhad for their roles in the protests.
No doubt there is great fear and a lot of discouragement among those who took to the streets protesting the fixed re-election of the weasel Ahmadinejad.
Sadly, it was only after widespread criticism from the American public, public scoldings from the floor of the House and Senate by our lawmakers, and the embarrassing fact that Fwance and Germany sounded much more “American” in their repudiation then we did, did The One make a somewhat anemic tough statement on the violence in Iran.
Obama, kicking and screaming, moved from “appalled and outraged” to “strongly condemned”. He never once spoke encouraging words of solidarity - those “We stand with you” words - to the brave freedom protesters in the streets who faced certain punishment and now, it seems, a hanging death.
So much for being Leader of the FREE World. You can watch a video from ‘Iran Hanging Protesters’ below.

It is really sad and terrifying to learn what is happening to Iranians…

And Obama invited their embassy staff over for hot dogs on Independence Day.
Ironic, isn’t it??

Yes it is flyingmonkey ….. but then he hasn’t really expressed outrage at the treatment of the Iranian protesters, so its not surprising. Sadly.

But I thought public executions were what we, as Americans, are wanting to lean to in order to deter crime. Crime of any sort.
