#2 Since Iran long ago proved they don't protect or consider embassy territory sovereign, it's up to each and every country maintaining one to protect themselves. Arm well and use the weapons - don't make Carter's biggest mistake again.

#4 Several windows were shattered by stone-throwers.

Too bad they didn't return fire. I'll never understand why the civilized world plays patty-cake with Islamic whack-jobs.

#5 According to international treaties, the host country is supposed to attend to the external security of the embassy.

In civilized countries, that's exactly what would have happened.

#7 They have an Embassy in London, I would assume. If they don't protect the British in Iran, why should the British product the Iranians in London?

#9 Doc:
I'm hoping for more of a 1219 flashback, when the ruler of Persia abused a diplomatic party.

I wonder if taking pictures of a pyramid of mullah skulls would get an NEA grant?
