so...I know we can't just declare war on Iran, but how much of this is it going to take for us to do something, because as is we just seem to be royally sucking at any attempt to keep Iran from doing crap like this
Edit: also I hope this poor guy can get released

Wow,seems a little...extreme,don't you think...? Even if he is truly is such,sentancing him to death over it?

Ah Middle East... only you can make us appear sane.

Hmm... lots of politics involved here. I wonder what kind of propaganda was in the games.

I bet Hideo Kojima is a russian spy sent by aliens, I've been saying it for years now.

All jokes aside you've got to wonder if other video games are telling us what to think. I mean I always had the feeling games like COD glorified being in the army, I mean if you barge in a door in real life there is no slow motion effect.

Just like EVA said in MGS4 "They think its cool to fight like this" or something like that.

Poor guy... hope he can atleast say his final goodbye's to his family and friends.

...on another note, is this the Thanks we get from Iran after we saved a boat full of Irani Sailors in the Arabian Sea? A Death Sentence to a most likely innocent man?

...The games aren't spreading propaganda but rather TRUTH!

Wow that is pretty dumb having a CIA operative going in and getting payed to do what people at gamestop do, but secretively so he can manipulate them to say hey America is not so bad. It is crazy they are going to hang him.

I would not be surprised to find out that this is a forced confession at the threat of harm coming to his family in Iran. Hopefully something can be done to save him and prevent the situation from really escalating quickly.

And here come the anti-Iran comments with the "why doesn't the U.S.," or "It's so much better here."

I don't deny the U.S. should do something, and that it is so much better here. But it's bad there because of western influence. Those who have power, want more power (to keep the power they already have). By keeping Middle East, Africa, and China down (China is more internal with their colonialism), everything is cheaper for corporations. Diamonds, gas, and every other product known to man.

Sounds like Iran is reaching....

dang....the U.S. has to get him back, along with his family.

Why is it that the warmer the location, the more disgruntled the people?

I can't figure out why we don't just wipe Iran off the face of the Earth. Honestly, if we really wanted to, it would only take us a couple of hours.

...How absolutely ridiculous. Do people think or just react? This ruling is not justified. Sentencing a man to death due to personal prejudice is inane. It would be better and much wiser to exile and excommunicate him from Iran without any possibility of return. Shame and guilt are powerful weapons, much more exact and influential than death.

They're going to kill him for the crime of free speech. WE have games where you can kill Jack Thompson, or dismantle the United States.

This verdict shows Iran's intolerance.

they are trying to start a war with america, those silly iranians. First they build a nuclear bomb under the guise of a nuclear energy program and now this???

I fully support this man and his freedom. At first I was not giving a *** about him but when I heard he was in the game community. My stomach hurt. I actually started to think of this mans family. He is a contributor to the second most favorite hobby in the world. (Sex is on the top in case you were wondering). Jokes aside I am going to pray for real and see if that helps. But really I should just wait until the draft.

Our President has no back bone to stand up against Iran. Think about this, as the Muslim people in Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, and Libya stood up against their governments, our President went out of his way to support them and say how great this was. Yet, in countries such as Iran and Syria when their people were rioting in the streets over a fixed election and oppressive government, our weak President said nothing until it was too late, and never supported the people of Iran until they were suppressed by their evil government. No one should be surprised that Iran is doing this, as they do it all the time, but our President is weak when it comes to standing up against Iran as he has had golden opportunities and he blunders every single one. Their is no question Iran is the number one threat to world peace in our time, but our leader does not have the resolve nor the integrity to stand against a nation that is going nuclear and has said time and time again they will use them against Israel and we are just behind Israel on their hit list. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says at the beginning of every single one of his speeches that he prays for the ushering in of the twelfth Imam, which in their belief is the beginning of the end when all non-Muslim believers will be killed. He open is trying to create a atmosphere of world chaos to hasten this time, as it is said in the Koran. Iran is dangerous and we could stop them, yet our President wont? Why?

This guy better get releases. This really pisses me off. He was probably tortured to say something. Being tortured will get you to say anything.

That stinks.
