Iran, however, has been a political nuisance for a long time, or are you completely unaware of the background of the country whose rights you appear to be defending?
Yes, it IS a "whole 'nuther kettle of fish" and is completely separate to this issue. What on earth are you going to say next, that it is fine for Iran to use a nuclear weapon on Israel, the US or the UK simply because America dropped atom bombs on Japan? Don't be so silly. The threat from Iran is real, it is growing and if something isn't done in the near future, then people like you may not have time to regret your opposition.
