A fully developed western power/country like Britain should just ignore the Neanderthal-like posturings of the backward-looking Iranian leadership.

Denounce each accusation as untrue and misguided, and leave it at that. We're dealing with the equivalent of the corner street feral youths - they will never give the time or respect for anyone else other than their own narrow-minded point of view. They thrive on self-seeking inflammatory attention - so ignore them.

Well I agree we should leave Iranians to sort their problems on their own. However we can't have it both ways. Either leave well alone and boycott them economically and politically, and forget about all those lucrative deals of oil and gas, or admit we don't care for human rights and we deal with devils and let them make their bomb and hold us all to a ransom. After all they held their own people hostage for 30 years and nobody cared. Why not in 10 years time rest of the world should feel these monsters hospitalities. Wait and dodge the question long enough you will see what these monsters will do to you. End of the day press TV is broadcasted from UK with all these famous names working for them. I wonder how many people they have in their pay rolls in this government or parliament. Oh just joking I am just a Cynic. All is going be OK in a few days.

The politicians don't speak on my behalf and unfortunatley never will unless i rise to a position of power. Let them squabble over their petty agendas and let it be known across the globe that the people of each country couldn't care less. Just let it simmer down and everyone get on with their lives.

carpet bomb the lot..

The Israelis will melt the place soon anyway

Why doesn't our government try to sort out its own internal affairs (i.e the number of them that have been cheating the system with expensives claims) before they starting sticking their noses into other countries problems.
Or is this an excuse to take the pressure of them by looking at Iran. I don't care just want our politicians to act like adults and take responsiabilty for the fact they have messed up and need to sort it out. Bet Iran isnt't in Debt like we are.

The responses of danss11 and kris.fallon just about say it all. Its none of our business, our government can't run this country properly, so its best they keep their snouts out of other countrys' internal politics.
Those Iranians I've met in this country are pleasant, well educated, normal people - and these are the sort of people who will, eventually, prevail.
Time to back off and stop interfering

putting diplomacy first? isn't David Miliband jewish? i mean how insensitive can you be. that is like the japanese sending the ambassador to the usa just before the bombing of pearly harbour, the same one who had signed the three party pact with Germany and Italy.

The political struggle within Iran today is a feminist one. There were four presidential candidates, three of whom aligned themselves with the increasingly influential Iranian womanhood, the forth fixed the election through the collusion of the Ayatollah and his supporting clerics. Women are demanding equality in marrage, right to divorce, child custody and an end to polygamy. There are very wealthy men in the world today who will stop at nothing to protect their right within Islamic culture, to possess a hareem as a status symbol and they support the current Ayatollah.
Last week an astrologer was arrested in Iran for predicting that "the president" would be deposed, but there are ruminations that it is the Ayatollah himself who faces dethronement. The West needs to keep up its support of Iran's women.
Despite 60% of Iranian studants being female, the state sanctioned and official face of womanhood is run by Centre for Women and Families, headed by Zohreh Tabibzedah. This woman has obviously been chosen by the Ayatollah due to her anti-female policies, among them the relegation of women to their homes as slaves and breeders and is hostile to any change in women's rights. Despite her dislike of the limelight she has recently appeared at two press conferences with Ahmedinajad, obviously criticism from her fellow females has driven her out into full view of the world. The Iranian student, who died from state sanctioned bullets on tv, was stunningly beautiful, clever and brave and is in stark contrast to images of Tabibzedah. Tabibzedah is no oil painting, but her ugliness emmanates from deep inside, she has no sense of asthetics at all, her monobrow and heavy black rimmed spectacles prove that. What struck me most was that despite her privileges she did not look healthy, too pale and fat for a women who is supposed to be living the dream.

if irans problems affect us and others around the world then of course we have a moral obligation to act - its easy to say bring our people home but if that happens, who is going to stand up in our place and help prevent this islamic crusade - they dont judge morality the same way we do in the real world, they wouldnt think twice about nuking infidels and its time the uk got down of its pc horse and started taking notice
