But isn't the basic problem the application of laws to foreigners ?
Nazi propaganda is of course worse than slight insults. However, in the german case german law was also extended beyond to borders of germany. Laucks nazi crap was legal in Canada. He could publish it in Canada. And Germany also prosecutes neo-nazis who publish their propaganda in Denmark which is also perfectly legal there. Surely these braindead got what they deserved, but of the grounds that the same legal rights must hold for all countries, you cannot complain when the Iran sentences someone to death by iranian laws for "crimes" (at least what they think that crimes are) he committed is the US.
