I think the point of Andrew O'Sullivan's post was that people are using their hatred of all things Bush to blilnd them and divert them from their actually beliefs. <br/><br/>hence why they blame america's death penalty for the Iranian situation.<br/><br/>How did the meeting in Dublin go. it was a pity it got so little coverage. Cross party consencous is a rare thing in Ireland I know.

The knots that IGLHRC and HRW are tying themselves up in are not so funny for the gay Iranians, including 2 iranian exiles who pulled out of a meeting in the House of Commons earlier this week due to fears of harrassment of their families. The Dublin commemoration of the first anniversary of the execution of two teenagers had Ruairi Quinn, David Norris and Colm O'Gorman speaking at it. <br/><br/>IGLHRC are not really international at all if they are spending their time loking at the American situation - wonder if they and HRW would conduct a fact finding mission to Iran - ooops no I doubt it actually because the Iranian authorities wouldn't let them do it.
