So it's our fault for the Iranian government's brutal slaughter of protesters

| »

That's what Iran's foreign minister is asserting:

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The Iranian foreign minister is blaming foreign countries for the deaths of opposition supporters in Iran's post-election turmoil.

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets since the June 12 presidential election, claiming the vote was fraudulent.

Authorities say some 20 protesters have died in the government crackdown on the protesters, although rights groups say the number is probably far higher.

Manouchehr Mottaki says Western "interventionist countries are accomplices in all the committed crimes and murders."

He didn't explain how they were implicated, but singled out Britain and said its meddling into Iranian affairs was the "worst."

Typical cowardly, hypocritical bullshit from a shitty country government. I'd really like to see the sort of reasoning he uses to explain how Western countries are in any way responsible for the slaughter of innocent and peaceful protesters decrying an obviously falsified election ...

Actually, scratch that. I don't even give a shit how he explains it. My best guess: a whining bitch playing the Blame Game. The end.
