See, and all along we thought that the Iranians were persecuting homosexuals ... but President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad explains otherwise:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070924/wl_mideast_afp/undiplomacyirangayrights_070924200729 "In Iran we do not have this phenomenon, I don't know who has told you that we have it," he said.
Well, there you go. There have been reports that the Iranian regime had executed about 200 homosexuals so far this year (at that rate they are killing over 300 per year), but, as the good President pointed out:
"Don't you have capital punishment in the United States? You do too. In Iran there is capital punishment."
Right. Murder one? Homosexuality? Parking in a "no parking" zone?
Hey, who cares what it's for?
At least he hates Bush!
