the British.....let that damn John Adams (who was a grown man helping lead the Revolution, not a student storming an embassy) into Britain in 1885 as the Ministers Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. James's (ambassador) just a few years later. Imagine that!

Neo-con much lately? So you want us to be the world's policeman now?.... Seems to me that Obama is more doing a Roosevelt, Teddy that is, walking software and carrying a big stick.... In a world that is more globalized than ever before it is stupid to threaten military action and start wars....

No diddlydick, where do I say that? We're talking about the US declining to issue a diplomatic visa to someone who thumbed his nose at centuries of diplomatic protocol in 1979 by seizing another country's sovereign territory (embassy grounds) and holding its diplomats as hostages for 444 days. Are you afraid Iran will go to war with us if we reject its proposed UN ambassador, diddlydick? What do you think Teddy Roosevelt ("Pedricardis alive or Rasuli dead") would do? Wait for Congress to tell him how to act?
On a more general level, perhaps you can explain something to me, LordDiddlydick.... How does drawing red lines and letting other countries cross them with impunity help preserve the peace?
