The question isn't what's the problem with Iran it's whether our government likes Iran. They don't. Iran has some problem with us over CIA ****ery or some such whatever I guess they're just whiny bitches. Saudi Arabia is a rival to Iran for influence in the Middle East and our leaders rather like that. Without Israel and the Saudis we really wouldn't have that much in the way of friends in the region if you can believe that so we're not about to throw that away over something like freedom of the press.
