Ayhab

listen little man, watch your filthy mouth. If you do not have what it takes to conduct a civilized debate, then don't.

That's not only abusive, it's vaguely threatening. Is that what you consider "civilized"? If you talk to others like this, then what right do you have to not only request but DEMAND (or what, Ayhab?) that they treat you with respect? You behave like a bully, and I'll treat you like a bully. I guarantee you would not be happy with the result of talking to me like that in person.

what we are trying to get through you is the US stance on issue of Human Rights.

Then make a fucking post about THAT, Ayhab! Because THIS post was about the US government trying to protect American citizens who are being held by a foreign power, not about human rights.

Read my first comment again, buddy. And stop wasting everyone's time. I realzie you can't help it and that you love to dissemble, but cut to the chase already. Say what you mean and mean what you say, and then defend that position. You aren't a little kid... stop acting like one.

Yet once again you are missing the whole thing altogether.

No one claims that she should be responsible for anyone else. what we are trying to get through you is the US stance on issue of Human Rights.

Granted I am one of the avid advocates that Iran's, as any other country's internal affair are their business and their business alone, however we are yet to hear this administration[of which I am a total supporter] to take a strong and unmistakable stand on the whole issue of human rights in Iran, and camp Ashraf for that fact.

You may be right, American lives are more precious than any other life !!!

That comment has got nothing to do with what I said. In fact, that's a moral distinction you make (that Iranian lives are more valuable) every time you suggest that potential suffering of Iranians should preclude the victims of the Islamic Republic from seeking justice.

All i said is that the US government is responsible for protecting US citizens overseas, and it is not responsible for protecting citzens of other countries overseas. That is all I said and it is all I meant. It is also a fact, in addition to being basic common sense.

If you choose not to "get it", there isn't anything I can do about that. The Islamic Republic certainly gets it, as they demonstrate every time theytake foreigners hostage to use as bargaining chips. Notice they don't try to use Iranian nationals as bargaining chips? They understand they have no leverage with foreign governments when they abuse their own (Iranian) people. The Islamic Republic has more complete understanding of global affairs than Captain Ayhab does? :o

You may be right, American lives are more precious than any other life !!!. Why should Mrs. Clinton worry about other prisoners ? It is not that her platform is human rights or any silly concept like that is it?

Besides what has she done for 3000 people who are literally in a concentration camp in Iraq, called Camp Ashraf? Ohh I see, they are NOT Americans!!

Capt-Ayhab is not referring to your Madam Secretary to release Iranians in Iran. He is referring to the release of Iranians kidnapped and detained and most likely being tortured by U.S. forces in Iraq. 

in regards to

"What about detained Iranians?" :

Washington "is deeply concerned about the welfare of our American
citizens who have been detained or are missing in Iran," Clinton said.

The US government is resposnible for the welfare of Americans overseas. The US government is not responsible for the welfare of citizens of other countries, overseas. It's not a difficult concept, Ayhab. Really, it isn't. If you have some suggetsions about what the US can do to help detained Iranians in Iran, I'd be interested in hearing it. In a different blog post. Because, it's an entirely different issue.

.No hope and change for Iranians

I have yet to hear "human rights" words being uttered by this administration.  It's amazing, as if they really really dont care...not even lip service.

 they sent Presdient Clingotn to negitation two journalists who worked for Al Gore out of N. Korea.  God knows what they promised that midget over there but not a word about the suffering of that country, not a word about the child labor, not a word about political priosons there. 

 Do you really think they would lift a finger (or lip) to say something for Iranian prisoners?? Iranian people are alone on this struggle...very alone!
