I don’t know, there’s no situation that can’t be improved by a little humor, and I’d certainly find it amusing to watch the Iranians squeal about the Israeli affront to international law in attacking their embassies because embassies are…

I wonder if they’d have any sense of irony. My guess is not. They don’t seem to be big on putting yourself in the other fellow’s shoes. It’s OK when they do it because that’s advancing Allah’s cause but for anyone else, especially Jews…well, I’d like to see it.

If they did that, I would hope we would send them a very strongly worded condemnation. And a dozen donuts.

Oh yes, wonderful irony. Bombing the Iranian embassy makes me giggle. I doubt it will happen, but I’ve got to say you’ve made my day just by suggesting it.

I’m pretty sure it’s not a war crime, but I’m almost positive it’s grounds for revocation of their diplomatic immunity. Not that the UN would condone that, of course…they’re probably on Iran’s side anyway. Furthermore, I think it qualifies as a legitimate casus belli with Iran, assuming Israel didn’t have that already.
