3. After I saw this news story, the question popped into my mind.

Unidentified gunmen have stormed the offices of Italian oil company Agip in Port Harcourt, southern Nigeria. At least nine people were killed in the assault. It is reported that seven of the dead were policemen and two were civilians working at the complex. Oil workers' unions in Nigeria have threatened to withdraw members from the main oil-producing region unless the government moves to improve security.

After a lengthy gunfight with police, the assailants robbed a bank on the premises and safely made good their escape, without losing any members of their group. According to a government official who spoke to the Reuters news agency on condition of anonymity, a group of about 30 men, wielding AK-47 assault rifles, attacked the facility by speedboat.

It (The attack) comes just days after militants who have kidnapped four foreign oil workers and attacked a Shell oil platform said they were preparing to carry out more raids.

Eni, the Italian energy giant which owns Agip, has been operating in Nigeria since 1962. In 2004, Eni accounted for approximately 10% of oil and gas production in Nigeria.

2. I'd give em $15 bucks...

(edit: to clarify, Iran is responsible for horrible rights violations, including huge amounts of stoneings and hangings of gays.)

4. Yeah, but

Iran is about to be invaded by an administration that, while they didn't invent atrocities, sure are working hard at perfecting them.

I don't know how I'd answer the OP's question. That's a tough one.
