#6 Canada needs to bond to it's citizens better. I'd want some sort of blood here.

#8 Canada's not going to recall their ambassador. Seems he's been instructed to go to the front door of Khatemi's office every morning, and stamp his feet really hard on the doormat...

#9 Barbara, Mrs. Davis, all...well, we could send our B-52s. But wait we don't have any. And I don't think any western power other than the US would have any ability to do anything militarily. I don't want to start a debate on our pathetic defense spending because I will just agree with you. I just want to point out that as a small to middle power are options are limited.

BUT, (because you good folks are slagging Canada here) I seem to recall the US having a little hostage situation some years back that took some time to resolve...

Something to think about though: Iran obviously would not like us to support any sanctions or military strike (by the US) given our past (dumb-ass) record. So guess on who's side we might just support this time....
