Don't tell me Human Rights organizations have no political agenda

If I had any doubt that almost all of these so-called Human Rights organizations have an anti-Iran (anti-Cuba, anti-Venezuella, anti-Syria or any other country that fundamentally challenges the U.S. hegemony) political agenda, now I'm convinced.

Imagine an Iranian think-tank, close to the establishment, had filed a libel lawsuit against an Iranian 'dissident' over his or her blog postings. Don't you agree that it would have already found its way to tens of press releases and hundreds of alerts and thousands of news stories over the world?

Now what is happening to me (with the $2 million lawsuit against me) is not much different. Except that no one cares when the same things happen to people like me who do not totally fit into the definition of dissident and the other side also is close to the U.S, policy-making machine rather than to Iranian establishment.

It's wonderful, isn't it?

My friend Hossein, Clearly your position as the blogosphere lap poodle for the Islamic regime has undermined your ability to differentiate a CIVIL suit pursued against you by a PRIVATE ENTITY and said regime's countless acts of STATE terrorism and violent oppression against Iranian dissidents within and without Iran. In other words, you are an utter moron. Death to IRI/Khamenei/Ahmadinejad! Long live Persia! Long live USA! Long live Eretz Israel!

Maybe it's just a coincidence. Seriously, an interesting analysis of why "the vogue of human rights" might be on the wane.
