Politics. Which is part of the reason why one tyrannical ruler does not have sanctions against the nation that he oppresses, and one is being castigated bythe international community. Of course, this is nothing to do with the political support that Iran has been accused of giving those calling for democracy in Bahrain, or the military base that is there.
What is happening in Syria is worse than what is happening in Bahrain, but the people in both nations deserve to live in a just democracy. Saying that, so do the people in Iran, but I do not see any change there happening for a while.
It is good that nations are calling for reforms in Bahrain, but I do think that it is sad that more action is not being taken against the rulers.
Anyway, the race must go on. While people die…
There's blatant cheating going on in the London Marathon.
The bloke in 6th place is on a motorbike!
No I am not doing the London Marathon. I just like dressing up as Orville.
