In 1979, during the hostage crisis, when I was tying yellow ribbons around the palm trees of the California State Capitol;I had no idea I would have the luxury of growing up and finding out that a terrorist who takes hostages would become a World leader. The great part about being a World Leader is they don't have anonymity and are subject to World Law.

Unlike those hooded creatures that hide in the dark and commit crimes; World leaders have the UN to answer to. Just like the Milosevic Rule, anyone who violates the Geneva Convention for example, can now face a Tribunal created by the UN Security Council. Why would I be writing about something as old as a 1979 terrorist act?

Well, someone who hasn't been identified for those crimes has committed crimes against people who are protected by the Geneva Convention. Imagine mourning your son or daughter who was protesting peacefully and then disappeared. Does this sound like a common occurrence among countries without human rights laws? Of course it does. Just remember, in the end there is always the rope.

It is a well known fact, that many governments use fear to keep their own people silent. Some use ethnic cleansing, some use tanks, and some use ATV's to plow over the victims of their crimes. I would suggest that anyone who doesn't know about Iran, listen to a few people who are from Iran. We are more ignorant about them then you would believe.

There is a great undertow of rebellion against the fundamentalist government and it isn't new. It is understandable after reading about Iran's crimes against its own people, that they would not have full support from people in their own country. Who in their right mind would support a government who does harm to their own people?

Rule of thumb, Hussein, Milosevic, and any other World Leader who commits those types of crimes rarely gets support. They eventually get the rope.

Take some time to read about this issue on this blog:
