Bloodless Coup

The Bush Administration Falls Madly in (Hetero) Love With Iranian Foriegn Policy

When, you know, it comes to oppressing the gays.

I guess there are some times when the president is damn happy it's "held hostage by a small clerical elite that is isolating and oppressing its people" (to use the president's own words from last night.

This vote put us on the same side as Iran and Sudan (whose governments execute gays), and a host of states that flog and/or imprison gays for, you know, daring to be alive, and some states that simply stand aside and look on disinterestedly when vigilante and mobs choose to kill. Nice group of buddies you choose to associate our country with Mr. President. Oh and lovely job you are doing of protecting freedom and liberty, and giving the world's people access to lobby the governments of the world.
