What do you think about Iran citizens protesting outside your embassy and throwing rocks etc.. and scaling fences trying to get in your Embassy. Because they want your sailors put on trail.

This shows how bloody stupid they are. Arghhhh! I want to say so much about this but cant.
Ive watched enough 24 to know that the embassy is British soil. The Iranians are attacking us and we should fight back. They abducted 14 or 15 of our people. After negotiation we should teach them a lesson to demonstrait the wrath of the United Kingdom so no other country tries it again. It was 25 years since the Faulkands Conflict and that showed smaller backward countries that we mean business.
Its no wounder why Iran doest get the respect they are demanding, because they do not deserve it. Its about time that country grows up. Libya and Cuba has and its not done them any harm. They show if Iran sorts themselves out they can become a modern , none western country. It will also stop the two best arm forces in the world blowing the s**t out of them.
Ok, thats my rant over for the day.

The population of Tehran is over 12 million. For what was obviously an officially sanctioned protest, 200 people, no matter how vocal and violent, is pathetic. It could be taken to mean that a majority of the Iranian population either do not know what is going on, or that the current regime is becoming increasingly isolated from the Iranian people. In the past few months, teachers, workers and students have protested against the regime. The current hostage crisis is a means whereby the Iranian regime can divert internal and international attention away from domestic problems within Iran.

I have no idea what above (nightsoflondon) is talking about. There are still many of us who do love our Country and what it stands for, or at least used to stand for..It is immaterial what government we have, it is what Britishness used to mean. which is tolerance, a sense of fair play and concern for others. Nowadays it is about money in certain areas such as London...and certain generations but not all. Everyone has a right to protest..there were the poll tax riots herenot that long ago. I think it is all just for show, for Iranian TV as there is no freedom of the press in Iran. Another side of Britishness is a calmness and the use of diplomacy rather than rushing in. I hope it will all end OK in the end. Don't forget the American embassy seige. Guess who was one of the protesters then?
The present president of Iran.....

they have obviously not got the whole story - Iranian newspapers and tv has obviously not been telling them about the evidence we have to tell them we're telling the truth. They do all this c***, and yet if that happened at the Iranian embassy in London, they would call it an outrage, and have a nation-wide fit about it. I'm sorry, but they want people to believe they are a civilized nation open to diplomacy after that? They're more likely to make people hate them even more....is that what they really want, or are they just stupid?
They shout ' death to england', but if i shouted 'death to iran' they'd probably all personally come here and shoot me...what are we doing, being tolerating and diplomatic and lawful - they are being none. Do they really expect the world to listen now?

I think that it is all posturing. A staged demonstration by people who have been fed a particular take on events by their government to present a political image for their own citizens. The same goes for the parading of our personnel on their TV.
Why has no-one published satellite photos to show exactly where the vessel was at the time and just clear the issue up?
The best answer to all the posturing and attempts to stir things up to fever pitch is to be logical and diplomatic. So much of international (and national) politics makes me think of toddlers having tantrums.

I think there were 200 hard line protesters, probably handpicked by the Iranian government (like the labour party handpicked the ecstatic crowd welcome when Blair walked into downing street - party workers we later found out) - i do not think the 200 Iranian students represent the Iranian population as a whole, and i certainly don't think actions of protest are tantamount to declaring war, so steady on there chaps. It's not time to press the button just yet.

Have they all spent money buying flags to burn as well, unless they made them it's good for the British economy, as for the erst just shows you how pathetic they are as far as I know the Iranian embassy in London is OK and there's no trouble.

Its a propaganda protest sponsored by the Iran government.
Anyway, who cares about the views of a bunch of mindless brainwashed morons? Not us.

Freedom to demonstrate is not permitted in Iran unless it is set up by the religious freaks who run the Iranian government
