This is a LAW in ONE country that was broken by two people. They knew the consequences should they be caught. Even if they didn't have sexual relations the way I understand it is that it's still against the law to be out with a man other than your husband or family so they were breaking the law regardless of what they were doing.
Not only that, but America didn't even get involved with Germany trying to take over much of Europe until they were personally affected by the war. They didn't seem to have much problem with Nazi Germany when it didn't affect them but because Iran has a crazy law, we should put a stop to them? 
History is full of stories of revolutions and mass protesting by the citizens to force change in a government if they feel their government has gone too far or just feel change is needed to get "with the times". There's no need for Western forces to go in and force changes because we feel they have a screwed up law. If we do that, where do we stop? Why not go into all countries that don't see things our way and MAKE them! 
BTW, this wasn't completely directed at you Malkshor, but the general idea that America should invade countries because we don't agree with the way they run their countries. It's none of our business, plain and simple. |
Yikes... so much for freedom, hey?
When they kick in your door, how you gonna go?
