U.S denies visa to Hamid Abutalebi, Iranian choice for U.N Ambassador

[Famous Mortimer]

What the US is doing is clearly illegal.

It's also clearly not immoral. I don't know why people are getting so upset about it.

Wait, yeah I do, knee jerk anti-Americanism.

Hey, smoking weed is also clearly illegal in most parts of the United States. Do you throw a fit when people do that? It is illegal after all.

The fact that he was involved with the embassy storming in 1979 is frankly irrelevant to this issue. As host nation to the UN we have an obligation to allow the chosen Iranian delegate.

Yep, we're breaking the law.

Why don't you cry over it?

Somebody just broke the law by breaking into your house, beating you, and stealing your car and TV.

Why don't you cry over it? After all, laws can be broken when one pleases now....

Breaking this law doesn't really impact anyone. The laws you mentioned are much different.

Just because something is illegal does not mean it is immoral.

Again, I bring up pot. Smoking pot is not immoral. Nor is denying some a-hole entry into our country because he held our citizens hostage.

Murder is indefensible.

This is very defensible.

No one is being killed because of this policy. No one is being physically harmed in any way because of it.

The only thing being hurt is the feelings of people who hate America.

False. Out legitimacy as the host of the UN is being hurt by it.

As if the people who are upset over this thought we had any in the first place.

Yeah, God forbid other countries should be remotely upset that we supported a brutal dictator in their country for decades. How dare they not bend to our will.

Well the guy we currently don't want to enter the country is the representative of another brutal dictator. So I guess it all evens out.

[Famous Mortimer]

Yep, that's exactly what I meant.

You smart.
