| Euros walk out on Iranian Missile Parade |
| 2005-09-23 |
| IHT EFL EU diplomats on Thursday walked away from a march in Tehran when ballistic missiles with anti-American and Israeli banners rolled past, Agence France-Presse reported. The event was held to mark the anniversary of the beginning of Iran's war with Iraq in 1980. Diplomats from the embassies of France, Italy, Greece and Poland walked out of the parade when banners carrying slogans "Death to America," "We will crush America with our feet" and "Israel must be whipped off the face of earth" appeared. One diplomat said that they had decided before the parade that they would leave if any of their allies were attacked. |

| #7 In the long view Europe has killed millions. One wonders if they understand the missiles could fall on them? |

| #6 Does anyone else think that marking the START of a war where millions died and EU attendees where is a problem? |

| #5 The event was held to mark the anniversary of the beginning of Iran's war with Iraq in 1980. Celebrating the anniversary of the start of a war is telling ... Even here in "war-mongering" America, we generally have celebrations to mark the anniversary of when a previous war was over. |

| #3 I just wonder who saw them leaving? No guesses how this might have been seen in Iran. |

| #2 Nice observation Larry! EU has gone out of its way to state that the EU is a "counter" to America. Were they surprised about the Anti-U.S. tone in Iran? Just remember Euros: "When you lay down with dogs you sometimes get fleas." |

| #1 One diplomat said that they had decided before the parade that they would leave if any of their allies were attacked. So why did they leave? America and Israel aren't their allies. |
