I have just read that a nasty dictatorship feels that its relationship with my country is under threat. This is probably because there has been a lot of public criticism here, of that country's atrocious record on human rights. About time too. Any country with any claim to respect for the person should have nothing to do with that country. In fact it should put pressure on that country to start treating its citizens decently.
Oh I nearly forgot the country is a theocracy. Religion just will not tolerate criticism because it is always right in its own eyes, hence that country's representative complains of our meddling in its internal affairs. Of course his country doesn't meddle in any other country's affairs, does it? I could almost laugh at the hypocrisy, if it weren't so terrifying. That country's regime is no more deserving of respect than those of Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin or Mussolini.
