It may feel comfortable to be "politically" correct in asserting that a nation or company not take a stance for human rights, but it is not morally correct. We no longer live as primitives. In this global society, human rights transcend politics and the abuse of people in the name of religion. Noikia-Siemens made a terrible mistake. But it is not the first time that Siemens has foregone ethics in favor of profit. In this situation, the least Siemens should do is agressively condemn the actions of the Iranian government, no matter what the cost.
