Seems like Britain and Iran are officially enemies now, why didn't Canada fall in line with what Britain did? Baird & Harper like to talk tough but why did we not sanction their banks and financial sector completely?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/8918875/Iran-expels-Britains-ambassador-to-Tehran-calling-death-to-England.html

Dominic Chilcott, who took up the position of ambassador just a month ago, could be forced to leave the country within weeks after a motion to downgrade Iran's diplomatic ties with Britain was passed overwhelmingly by the Islamist republic's parliament.

The step was taken after Britain, Canada and the United States announced fresh sanctions against Iran last week in the wake of a report by UN weapons inspectors which provided the most compelling case yet that Tehran is trying to build a nuclear bomb.

Britain was singled out, however, after it became the first state to impose direct sanctions on Iran's central bank. Financial institutions in the City were also banned from doing business with their Iranian counterparts.

Despite pressure from Israel, Washington has baulked at following suit, arguing that such a step would cause deep financial pain for ordinary Iranians and could cause the price of oil to soar. If its central bank faced widespread international sanctions, Iran would find it virtually impossible to import and export oil, food and other commodities except on the black market.

It is the first time in the UK's postwar history that Britain has imposed a total boycott on the entire banking industry of a foreign state.

Iranian MPs were incandescent in their fury towards Britain, known by many in Iran as "the Old Fox". After announcing that the motion had been carried by 171 votes to three, Ali Larijani, the hawkish speaker, warned that even tougher penalties would be imposed on Britain, saying: "this is just the beginning of the road."

The resolution, which declared the British government to be "worse than the devil", must now be approved by Iran's Guardian Council. It is unlikely that the body's spiritual elders, whose main role is to ensure that legislation cannot be deemed un-Islamic, would block the move.

Another of his colleagues went even further, invoking the hostage crisis of 1979 when, at the height of Iran's Islamist revolution, student gunmen raided the US embassy in Tehran and took its diplomatic staff hostage for 444 days.

"The British government should know that if they insist on their evil stances, the Iranian people will punch them in the month, exactly as happened against America's den of spies," said Mehdi Kuchakzadeh.

OOOoooo...They're going to pass a resolution that Great Britian is "worse than the devil"...

I'm sure God is on side with that...

I think it's about time to get these wacko Islamofascists on the run...

Tehran to glass anyone?

The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!

You'd be killing millions of innocent people...the ordinary citizens of Tehran are nothing like the ruling powers

How do you plan on dealing with these lunatics that,quite frankly,are intending to kill millions of innocents in Israel or elsewhere???

Unless you believe these lunatics who claim that their nuclear aspirations are for domestic purposes only?

Have a little meet and greet with these nutters?

Keep in mind,Tehran is being tacitly backed by Moscow and Bejing...So hard hitting UN sanctions are completely out of the question.

The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!

Shouldn't we be turning Moscow and Bejing into glass then?

I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical,
a liberal, oh fanatical criminal

I hope you know encouraging genocide is a criminal offense in Canada

So...No response to the questions other than some veiled threat by a Bedwetter.ca (rabble.ca) refugee??

The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!

If we actually had leadership,and not have sold out to the crypto-Fascists in Bejing, we might be able to exert something on these people....

Sadly we can't...

Your post that we should nuke a country because its ruling party gives you a hard time is ridiculous and you don't even take into account that countries which are allied with Iran have nukes themselves, Russia, North Korea, China

Nuking is out of the question, put it out of your mind you blood thirsty twilight vampire

Funny how your answer to the problem, is the exactly same one you accuse the "religious nutters" of wanting to use. Jack makes the Ayatollahs look like voices of calm and reason! :lol:

Then answer the question...

How do suppose we deal with the lunatics running the show in Tehran,because they seem intent on killing millions of innocents in a genocidal act,as well?

How do you suppose we deal with Tehran,without threatening them with military force???

I mean,they already think we are worse than the devil...

Why would we deal with Iran based on your assumptions? If Iran IS building a bomb is probably for the same reason that everyone else built them. A nuclear standoff in the middle east might be the best thing that ever happened to the place. And unless the fallout can reach vancouver Island Im not inclinced to intervene in someone elses arms race.

So your contention is to do nothing?

I dont see anything to deal with! And I wouldnt trust the same western intelligence agencies that told us it was a "slam dunk" that Iraq had an advanced nuclear program and wmd capability.

Do nothing about WHAT exactly?

I dont trust ANY of the parties involved. If a compelling self interest emerges for Canada then we can have a discussion about that, but right now I dont see one.

Of course you don't...

I never believed the "intelligence" on Iraq...Iran is a different story...Not just because it is being run by a cabal of certifiable loons,but because it has a populous that is far more educated and far more technologically and industrially advanced than anything Iraq had to offer.

The International Atomic Agency told us that Iraq was years away from anything resembling nuclear WMD capability in Iraq.The Iranians won't allow anyone near their facilities....

I wonder why?

The unevitable eventuality of Islamofascist kooks lobbing nukes into Israel or having the longer range capabilities of hitting targets in Europe???

Or do you think Ahmedinejad's comments about The Holocause or Jews in general or equating us with being lower than the devil is just him trying to break the ice before these people extend a hand in friendship?

Those loons have behaved a lot better than Saddam did. Saddam invaded 4 countries, gassed iranians, gassed the kurds, bombed Israel, and invaded Kuwait. Iran has done very little of interest.

The Iranians won't allow anyone near their facilities....

This is just flat out objectively false.
