#1 If everyone is so concerned about what is happening in Iran why not just recall all their diplomatic missions? Isolate them diplomatically. Then kick out their missions which are nothing more than intelligence gathering and security missions to follow and hassle local Iranian expats anyway.

#2 Will our Leader follow the lead? Maybe if he gets too much flack for not being strong enough. But he wont do it willinly. Maybe after sharing hot dogs with Irans diplomats.

#4 Bingo, tw. I'd use the embassies to spread subversion. If a diplomat is caught he/she is PNG'd. Small price to pay for that. If I were the PM of, say, Canada, I'd have my diplomats on the street gathering information, spreading encouragement, and standing up to the rats with clubs. My embassy would push to the limit to help the protesters.
