Where's the world's concern for Iraqi gays???

We've all seen in the last week the incredible concern shown for the supposed new law in Afghanistan that legalizes spousal rape. I say supposed because no one has seen the actual text. In any case, world leaders like Obama have been outraged, and Stephen Harper has actually talked about the law threatening the NATO mission.

I support this talk tough, and I support tough action as well.

But, where is the same toughness when it comes to the gay community in Iraq? Already in the past week, we've seen some 6 gay people murdered in Iraq. There are 128 gay people who have been sentenced to death as well. I'm not sure how this all fits in with Iraqi law which 'only' calls for 7 years imprisonment for homosexual activity.

When can we expect a statement from President Obama? When will Stephen Harper mention this? Will the British and the Germans also remain silent? Surely, the tolerant Dutch should be making a fuss, no?

There you have it. No leader will say something about this. Not one. This inability to speak out for gay rights when it really counts is what unites the conservatives and liberals alike. Can somebody prove me wrong, please?
