| Iranian prosecutor rejects charges in Canadian’s death |
| 2003-09-02 |
| same story from yesterday, but with Ottawa’s reaction: On Monday, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said the withdrawal of charges against two Iranians in the death of a Canadian journalist may not be as bad as it looks. There have been suggestions the two officials were being made scapegoats. Graham says if the charges have been withdrawn, it could lead to charges against those who were directly responsible for Kazemi’s death. Ok Bill, start holding your breath now. This is basically Ottawa’s way of saying "we’ve given up". |

| #9 Canadien government spokeswoman Faith Lovejoy-Holmes, reading from a prepared statemant, was quoted today saying, "We can now, couragesly, forthrightly and thouroughly, put this matter in context. But we are steadfast in our opinions and will never back down on our principles or our rejection of any unilateral, destabilizing, uncivility". |

| #8 Why would Americans be attending a trade show in Beriut? ya lost me on that one....? I wouldn't deal with Lebanon until Syria's ejected, the Paleos are cleaned out of the Hellhole, and their old system of government is restored, returning stability. It used to be a beautiful country, and as usual, Arafat's touch destroyed it |

| #4 Ptah - I've long thought Reagan should've smoked the entire Bekaa Valley for those Marines' deaths. You can't send battalions in for every kidnapped or killed citizen, but when a NKorea holds a Pueblo, Iranians hold the hostages, or Iran cracks a Canadians' skull in prison, you've gotta make a stand. If you don't defend your nationals when it counts, you're nothing |

| #3 SH, This is strictly a Canadian-Iranian issue: We Merkins don't have a dog in this fight. Like Frank G said, let the Canucks show that they're pussies. Not that we're blameless in this regard: A more vigorous response to the Beiruit Bombing of our Marines there would have solved a whole passle of problems. We've fallen a long ways from the days of TR, who sent in the Marines to rescue a woman and her children. |

| #2 Bill Graham should just come out and say: "Hey, we're pussies and we don't defend our citizens, have at 'em" disgusting |
