Except Iran isn't a sovereign nation, it's just a patch of soil run, in practice, by a bunch of unelected mullah-thugs. The doctrine of sovereign rights should be restricted to democracies. The mullahs have no more sovereign right to the territory they happen to control than the Crips or Bloods.

You may not like them (I certainly don't) but they're a sovereign nation as much as any other.
