So one of the actresses who was in The Innocence of Muslims is suing the filmmaker and Youtube.

[kaijyuu]

Okay, I can see suing the filmmaker, but why youtube?

Cause google refused to put down the video from the net when asked to.

Boo hoo?

Maybe she doesn't realize that won't help getting it off the internet?

Meh she can try for emotional damage and harassment in a sense.

[NobodyPro]

The death threats she's no doubt recieved/may recieve may be grounds too.

If that thing violated her contract terms (imagine your footage for an adventure film used in offensive propaganda without your knowledge) then she might actually have the best legal grounds to demand it removed from youtube.

So Iran's economy is falling apart.

Dude, you do realize we've cut diplomatic ties with Syria, sanctioned them economically, and sent the rebels covert aid, right? That isn't pro-Assad at all. Obama even got on international television and told him to step down.

Yeah, I know we've done everything we could within the UN boundaries - but to the Syrian people it will seem as if the rest of the world had forsaken them. People like aid they can directly see better, you know?

I'm against interviening in Syria. Not that I don't want happiness and free puppies for all oppressed people, anywhere, but because we have been interviening for the past decade (and more subtly, years before that), and it hasn't done any- as Andrew Carniegie so famously said- Real and Permanent Good.

That's because these were interventions that weren't called for. But here there's an uprising and the people want us to help - look at approval ratings for the EU and the US in Libya. (Just saw that I said that before, but it seems that point hasn't been appreciated )

We probably need at least another decade or 2 to say that Libya was a good thing for sure.

I don't understand, how does the EU and the US approval ratings in Libya indicate that the Syrian people want the US and the EU to invade Syria?

Hopefully this empowers the reformists.

EDIT: So some Iranian women beat up a cleric who told them to cover up more. I guess things are changing.

[nenjin]

I got a lot of joy out of reading that article.

"Cover up my eyes? What the fuck mang? I'm already completely covered up, now you want me to be blind too? I've followed all the strictures of our repressive social culture, and you know what? You're getting a fucking beat down."

[PTTG??]

They are going to be stoned to death, you realise, right?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Not if they don't get caught, and there are punishments in Iran besides stoning people to death.
