Since when has anyone from Kissinger to the furthrest right seriously cared about human rights

The vast majority of folk from both left and right care about human rights.

With regard to Iraq, I've consistently argued for years the best reason for overthrowing that regime was its human rights record - "the nature of the regime." I still think so because every fear I had about the place is being confirmed - it was a charnel house.

It was so bad it's starting to discredit the pan Arab movement in the ME.

When the Iranian regime is finally put away you will find it running a close second to Iraq in the murder and torture stakes.
