China is the biggest supporter of Iran because of the tremendous similarities of both governments. Both are brutal oligarchies ruled by a small coterie of thugs. Both ban free speech and any form of protest. Iran has the Basij militia, China has ' black ' jails. Both control internet and media stringently. China arrested and threatened parents of children killed in the Sichuan earthquake, by melamine in milk and recently by poisoning due to lead discharge from factories. Iran arrested mothers of protesters killed in custody by the secret police. Iran supports terrorists in Lebanon and Palestine while China supports terrorists in Pakistan and Sudan. However, there are two main differences. Iran is governed by religious fanatics while China's rulers are avowed atheists. The main difference is that Iranian people have the courage to give their lives in support of their beliefs while Chinese cockroaches will tolerate any amount of indigity inflicted on them by their leaders. After all cockroaches deserve to be squashed under foot.
