Where the USA went wrong with the Indians was to break promises we made to them over and over. We would discover they had something on the land we let them have ( one example being gold ) and then we would take it away from them. However, the Indians raped and tortured each other long before the white man came. Seeing how slowly you could kill someone tied to a stake was their idea of entertainment. The only reason they didn't spoil the land was because they had no ambition. The men wanted to hunt and play and their women had to do all the dirty work. Don't preach to me about how we killed Indians. They were killing each other before we got here.

Right you are. It is perfectly in keeping with the koran that you can hang a protester from a crane, BUT only when you have run out of lamposts. Don't muslims ever get tired of doing muslims?

Well you know, Maurice, you have to read the Quran, and you have to understand the Quran to be able to form an opinion on things like stoning people, cutting off hands, hanging from a crane ... if you haven't read and understood the Quran, you can't form ... an ... opinion ... not. As for what Persian Cat feels, I could care less.

No worries Mahmood, I feel every bit as angry and irate about the beheaded maiden in Saudi Arabia as I do about the public executions in Iran - thank you very much fro bringing it to my attention! Saudi Arabia for the moment has the support of Western countries because they are in a position of needo for the crude of Arabia - oh for the day when we find another source of energy!

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR, RAPE OF NANKING, JAPANESE PRISON CAMPS, CONQUERED WOMEN FORCED TO ACT AS COMFORT GIRLS FOR THE JAPANESE TROOPS ? Just about everyone loves the Japanese, except of course, those that were brutalized by them I spent some time in Japan, just keep in mind, when a Japanese shakes his head for "Yes", that's the way we say "NO" and the reverse for when he says "NO", it's the way we shake our heads for Yes In plain words, appearances are deceiving The Japanese crane company will now ship the cranes from one of their plants in Korea or China

I support sanctions against Iran, and am appalled at their primitive, barbaric Sharia system. But come to think of it, there are quite a few people I could name who deserve to be slowly choked to death on a crane.

uneducated poor person in the street in iran or turkey or syria or egypt is not about killing people with a crane or any other way, they don't have to bobkiss coins to rub together. It is the mentally degenerate pig leaders who are causing all the problems, the ones who studied in the madrassas and think they are supposed to kill the Jews when in fact they are saving the world. It is the leadership pigs that are doing all the damage, not the uneducated peasants who don't know right from wrong and don't have enough money to put a decent meal on the table.

Wil EZ, We use Catrerpiler, They use Cranes, what the diferance is. Jsut semantic my friend. to peas in the same pot.

For a country that has no death penalty, how many palestinians died in for the last year. I will take death penalty in any country rather than being judge by Isralies

@Sarah B, No25 - In Europe the last execution by beheading with a heavy two-hand sword (in accordance with the law) was in Sweden in the 2nd half of the 18th century; that`s not a Middle Ages, honey ! But you missed my point - not so long ago here in the west we also executed people in the public places, what`s the real difference in hang them on the gallows or on the cranes? As for beheading, I doubt Saudis use Japanese swords, but it would be better if they do, because it would much painless for the victim. The REASONS of those hangings and beheading are other matter. To No24 - a) To take what happened 200-300 years ago out of the historic context is, to say at least - stupid. b) 20 million Russians in the II WW died fighting the nacizm ; from 1918 to 1952 Lenjin & Staljin directly or indirectly killed from 52 millions to 58 million Russians. C`mon, mister, learn history ;) !

I have spoken with Iranians now living in London who fled the Khomeini revolution. I have heard a story that there is a major prison in Tehran where twenty thousand dissidents are buried inside the prison walls. They murdered so many socialist and libertarian activists there they had to extend the prison walls. Someday soon the world will see an international excavation of the prison grounds. It might be 5 years but it will come that this nation will have its freedom again. Then we shall see the truly guilty hanging.

Israel has a death penalty for two crimes: (i) Nazi war crimes (remember Eifchmann, may his name be cursed throughout eternity?) and (ii) treason. Terrorisim, which is a capital offense in a great many countries, is not a capital crime in Israel. If it were, the hangman would be the busiest man in all of Israel.

Perhaps, then, you should leave.

Sweden, huh? Second half of the 18th century, huh? Wow. Those Scandinavians sure are barbaric, aren't they?

We do have the death penalty in Israel for crimes against humanity. It as implemented against Adolf Eichmann.

Again an example what kind of country İran is an a fine example of what islam really is. Why don't we wake up??

Iran is not the most despicable country. They are 2nd to the first most despicable country North Korea

Using US made F16, Apaches, M1's and other war toys is a O'k ;) ,...

The problem is not Iran, it is Sharia. The fascist Islamic state dehumanizes the people living there and destroys any civilization existing there before Sharia was instituted. England, look at Iran. This is you if you don't learn to stand up to the Muslim colonists working to transform your country into an Islamic republic. Post #10 was incorrect about one thing: the atrocities in Saudi Arabia were already addressed by post #4 here, and they have been addressed in talkbacks on this site previously.

They already showed the world why they want cranes. As for harnessing the atom, that's so they build nukes to wipe Israel off the map. Or have nukes built for them by someone who is able to understand modern technology. These people should never be given any technology more complex than a rock. Actually keep rocks away too - they'd just use them to execute people, like they use cranes.

Maybe a better question would be, how many times did Palestinians commit unprovoked terrorist attacks against innocent Jewish civilians? Followed by, how many Jewish lives were at risk from the rocket attacks...all which are considered war crimes under International Law...then we'll talk about your silly question. Remember the two drive-by shootings last year, at the beginning of the renewed peace talks? Hamas killed 4 civilians, one was a pregnant mother of 5 children. Then the next day Hamas held a "victory parade" for what Hamas called those "heroic acts"? Until we discuss your response to that, we have no need to talk about people killed from defensive actions by Israel, do we?

When someone tries to attack me he has decided to commit suicide & I am going to help him do it It's not a matter of my making the decision for him to die, he decided that all by himself He was his own jury and judge & executioner, I acted as his proxy

time .

liberate themselves from that evil religion and convert to something more humane

Don't worry, Tehran. The Obama administration will certainly resupply you with new cranes or replacement parts should you find yourselves in short supply. That's if the EU doesn't beat them to it.

You got it all wrong body that title fits USA and her favorite lapdog Israel the best. I don't even bother telling you why, I leave it as an exercise for you :)

of all those other deaths during this last century of the russian revolution of 1917 of czar nicolas and the shooting of his family in the street/basement of the palace, and how many were killed by starvation and gulags, etc my point is that what iran does is nothing any different that waht EVERY single country /land has already done in the world millions of times over, now if you want a complete list of all the countries and death totals let me know your email address and i will be happy to give it to you, including those oh so barbaric native american indians only 200 years ago, and the black slaves only 150 yrs ago inclunding the jim crow laws and general southern good time lynchings that went unpunished by anyone for years. thank you
