    The own words of the Supreme Leader Khamenei and of Ahmadinejad are "US propaganda"?? Did the USA invent Khrushchev saying "We will bury you" as well? Wow, every adverse quotation from a tyrant must be "US propaganda" even when they're on record saying it themselves. Some people can't even get sense beaten into them...

    The bit about the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism is corroborated by your EU overlords. But as far as propaganda goes, I suppose you've never met any bit of EU anti-US propaganda claim that you didn't like...?

    When Iran is looking to make a political statement, it usually turns to kidnaping. Sadder still that is should seek to terrorise those it kidnaps.

    It is great to see the feminists and the left picketing Iranian Embassies and marching for this lady..............oh wait a minute.
    It is hypocritical for feminists and intellectuals to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of capitalism while sneering at it.-Camille Paglia

    But apart from actually being innocent, it seems she was being held to get France to release an Iranian accused of spying:

    Last week, France freed an Iranian engineer whom it detained for allegedly exporting electronic parts illegally to sell to Iran's military.

    The US had wanted to extradite Majid Kakavand, but a French court rejected the request last week and he was allowed return home.
    So France arrests an Iranian stealing French military technology and in return Iran kidnaps a French student and threatens to kill her. I suspect Iran has not heard the last of this. The French are pretty brutal when it comes to evening scores. Of all the Western nations I would not like to run afoul of, France tops the list.
