Do you think it irks the Iranian clergy that they’re behind the Arabs even in terms of theocratic repression? I mean, it’s got to feel bad to lose to Saudi Arabia, the stalwart of Islamist fundamentalist vitriol.
Kamangir: What you don’t pay attention to, my friend, is that they are doing better than the Saudis. Who cares if the “infidels” have written the list upside-down. In terms of “protecting the values”, the Islamic Republic is on top, performing better than the Saudis! :D
Kamangir, that’s a great point!
What can an ignorant American(s) do to help the people of Iran gain the freedoms they deserve?

But Iran have to keep up with its performance. Just a little more effort by KSA and it might start to be “better” at protecting Islamic values than Iran, after all IRI is 162 and Saudis are 161 on the list.
THOSE JUDGING ‘FREEDOM’ BY A ‘WORLDWIDE FREEDOM REPORT’ HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING WHATSOEVER OF THE MEANING OF THE WORD ‘FREEDOM’.
Those who use it as the only reference, certainly. Those who try to understand what it means, and how it may apply to their country, understand what freedom means quite well.
