Underlining Iran's hardline sentiment, some 60,000 soccer fans chanted "Death to Britain" at a match in Tehran, while 700 people rallying near Tehran University yelled "We condemn the British invasion!" A Muslim cleric told worshippers during Friday prayers that "Britain is an aggressor and Iran has confronted it."



Anyone else want to blame this on just the revolutionary guard?

I agree.

Any country that openly advocates destruction of another country is not a people to be reasoned with.

They just need a nice and quick ass kickin' to realize that it's wrong.

I hope the next president of the USA, if they have to fight a war with Iran, realizes that "pinpoint bombing" won't do a thing but incite more anger and hatred from Iranians.

Fleets of bombers need to turn that country into rubble. Citizens need to be held responsible for the governments ruling over them. Iranians need to understand that THEY need to make some changes, or they will suffer by losing their homes and families.

A war with Iran shouldn't be approached with the goal of "winning hearts and minds."

It should be a war where the country is either subdued or wiped-out.

And most importantly -- this goal must be made clear to Iran and the war from the beginning.

War should be avoided. But if it needs to be fought, war should be war.

Quit taunting us with that cycle. Wink

I'd don't want to see total war but I agree that the West must resolve to unite against the Islamofascist government in Tehran in a firm way. My parents were in Tehran for two years leading up to the hostage crisis and were, in fact, on the last flight out of the country as the revolution erupted. My sister, who was a teen at the time, had to be escorted to school by a machine gun-wielding Iranian police officer because two of her classmates were assaulted by gangs of Iranian boys (so much for Muslim respect for women). And yet my parents lived in a middle-class neighborhood with educated Iranians who while not approving of SAVAK and the Shah's extreme tactics were horrified at the prospect of the ayatollah's taking power. Now we can see why.

Some of the best and brightest fled the country just before and after the revolution, and with them political moderates (as in Iraq). There are countless Iranian youth, primarily in the universities, who are clamoring for freedom of speech, a decent education, and quietly hoping for the downfall of this despicable religious regime.

For their sake, I'd hate to see this explode into war. The Iranian people suffered enough during the long war with Iraq during Saddam's reign and the decent folk in their midst deserve better.

How much the propaganda machine of the Persian state has set the less educated Iranian youth and the general populace against the West is difficult to guage from the outside looking in. Knowing the answer to that question is pivotal to dealing effectively with the Ahmadine-jihad-alamabad and his handlers.

To put this in a bit of perspective, I've been at English Premiership games where in late 2002, early 2003, large sections of the crowd could be heard chanting "attack, attack, attack attack Iraq!"

Both you and I know that fottball crowds contain a large number of idiots, and that the chants of such idiots don't justify genocide

I believe in handling this calmly rather than doing it Iranian style. Keep putting the squeeze on them while talking to them, and if negotiations don't work, then other measures such as economic ones will be taken. An apology from Britain would not be acceptable. Quickly pushing a military confronation isn't prudent.

What a bunch of sheep, all 60 000 of them.

PS. Doesn't this remind you of the Pueblo? Iran is an ally of North Korea, after all. Agitprop. The Iranian government is scared.

Spoken like a true fanatic and terrorist. Bin Laden would approve. He justified 9 11 on grounds that US civilians are responsible for their government's foreign activities and therefore are legitimate targets.

The British and US installed Shah and SAVAK took care of the moderates after eliminating Iranian democracy. These 'best and brightest' who peformed the daily tasks of managing the torture regime of the Western installed Shah. Sure they were keen to leave town when it all turned to custard for them.

You forgot to mention the Christofacists in Washington who gave Saddam what he needed to seize power in Iraq, armed both sides, did hostage deals to finance yet another one of their illegal wars in Central America.

But little more can be expected from right wing American extremists whose daily bread is Fox 'News'.

and to expect more from a "peace loving give everyone what they want and negotiate with terrorists so that they will be our friends and we can all live happily together in a green world that is no longer suffering from global warming due to the Bush administrtation," would be stupid. After all, you probaly get your news for the Communist News Network (CNN) or PMSNBC. Thank god for Fox news, someone has to be fair and balanced. Of course you think that being anti-bush is fair and balanced.

You are referring to the 1953 coup, which was assisted by the CIA and a mistake. But that was half a century ago. Try to make your argument germane to the times in which we actually live. And it's just hyperbolic to state that the moderates all fled at that time. You're good at essentializing the supporters of the Shah. In fact, lardhead, much of the Shah's support came from moderates, from the middle class, and others without a vested interest in the chicanery of his regime. I'm not fan of the Shah or SAVAK but he was no more extreme than the present regime, which has also run the economy into the ground.

What gets lost in all of this talk about foreign policy issues is that Ahmadine-jihad-alamabad uses these conflicts to distract from the growing economic crisis at home, which none of you apologists bother to consider on this thread or others.

Only a leftist would defend the Sandanista regime in Nicaragua in the 1980s. You've shown your cards.
