What's happening in Iran should be no concern of ours, for it is their country and they will forge it the way they will. Yes, it is nasty what is going on over there, but in time they will sort it out, just like every other successful country has done through history, but when they do, lets hope they do not forget their past as so many countries have. But why beyound the humanitarian angle should foreigners be concerned for it is a different country with a different set of rules. The only times in history that other countries have intervened in support of a downtrodden population is instances where those interfering countries have used the situation for other means, perhaps a modicum of favour which borders control in trade purposes or the downright pillaging of their resources or any other strategic advantage. Governments despite what they say do not care about people, as whence in power, their future opens up for them and they then rim the asses of the interests that enable them to prosper. A foreign government citing human rights issues in other countries as a means of attempting to intervene beyond sanctions, is a government softening the populace to the fact that they want to be there, another war perhaps on the grounds of aiding human rights. I wonder though, would the interest be so great if it wasn't for the fact that Iran is a rich oil bearing nation. Oil aside, let them sort out their own problems.
