1. Hmmm
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.30.11)
They burn your flag. They deface your royal seal. They make off with a portrait of the queen, which they subsequently trash. They invade your embassy compounds (British territory) -- and yet you do not end diplomatic ties. For shame.

april.shower ,   germany   (11.30.11)
the noose around the neck of the mullahs is tightening slowly and inexorably
3. Long overdue.
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (11.30.11)
United Kingdom shall have done a long ago so you will not face the multitud. United Kingdom did not learn from 1979.
4. Sometimes its a good thing when adults act like children.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.30.11)
5. All liberal democratic countries that care about...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.30.11)
...proper international law and norms of behavior should expel Iranian diplomatic personnel from their countries and should bring home their own from Iran!! Yet, too much cynicism prevails in matters of public affairs and especially international affairs for countries to stand by what is right.
6. When EU didn't react to attack burning and almost lynch at

11. Iran is a Shiite Republic
Phoenix ,   Israel   (11.30.11)
They are not even real Muslims. Original Islam do not recognize Shiites as muslims but as infidels. The Iranias created their own type of Islam cause they hate Semites; Arabs and Jews. Their type of Islam let's them to do even worse terrorism that Original Arab Islam.

13. Bravo UK, Iran payes for once. (End)

14. When IL embassy in Egypt was attacked silence was deafening
Tevye ,   Chelm   (11.30.11)
Israeli officials crapped their pants , so afraid they were that Egypt would react strongly on any Israeli reaction about this act of war.... The opposite, Israel was "full of praise" for the "great mutual cooperation" with Egyption security forces - who allowed the attack in the first place! Britain shows how you must deal with this extreme Muslims and their hosts!
15. UK expels Iranian ambassador
Spencer ,   Israel   (11.30.11)
Well done! For once the UK seems to have done the right thing. Hopefully the rest of the world will follow suit.

andy ,   UK   (11.30.11)
19. Act of WAR!!
Yoni ,   Brooklyn, USA   (11.30.11)
I am very curious to know why this isn't being considered an act of war against Britain?? There has been an attack on British soil why isn't there any military action??
20. Iran has disgraced Itself Again...
EZRA ,   USA-ISRAEL   (11.30.11)
As usual, the Iranians (not just the regime) have erased any and all signs of sophistication or intelligence. They've gon way too far as usual. The karmic debt these thugs owe to humanity is far to large to expect anything but a purged 3rd world nation will remain in the near future.
21. Frankly speaking
reza shah ,   tehran   (11.30.11)
Who cares about the brit they more noisy than being scary good bye good riddin
22. To: #4 Salma
Jake Stone ,   USA   (11.30.11)
Hey, Girl: Now, that's what I'm saying: stupid thinking and actions like that is what gets the Muslims' in trouble all the time. Their inability to reason leads to animalistic actions. However, I'll try to be sympathetic, since you're so cognizantly deficient. As your brethren, the stupid Evolutionists' say: the Palestinians' haven't fully evolved, yet. So, I guess the rest of us will just have to wait (endure those growing pains) until you all grow-up and learn how to play nice. God bless Israel: the true home of the Israelis'.
23.  #12 For Bunnie Meyer
Moragh   (12.01.11)
Yes Bunnie, the Brits have plenty of balls but they're for playing Tennis at Wimbledon.
24. Simple # 19. Act of War!

john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (12.01.11)
It would be a good thing if you acted as an adult instead of posting childish rubbish.
26. #22 - true home of all the jews !
Daniela   (12.01.11)
27. IRAN COULD CARE LESS
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.01.11)
So Britain expelled the iranian ambassador ? the iranians could care less.
28. #24
Kevin ,   UK   (12.01.11)
Britain has no balls?! You drunk or something? Britain has proven throughout our history that few countries have a pair to rival us! Fact is though that WHEN (and I say when) it happens it will be a coalition that acts and Britain will do it's bit with all it's allies to destroy an evil regime...but declare war on our own? Not even America would do that at the moment with the massive military resources she has.
29. cowards
Mike Shore ,   Dallas, USA   (09.10.12)
No nations leaders have ever acted a cowardly as Iran in storming embassy while being arrogant enough to expect their embassys be safeguarded. Jimmy Carter's performance when our embassy was her hostage was pitiful. We could have threatened to destroy Iran's oil terminals if our hostages were not freed, but all he did was drag things out and let them get away with such a crime. It's time for all of the world to come together and take out these dangerous leaders who even kill their own people. The alternative will be along the lines of what happened when hitler was not stopped.
