…a step that would likely increase Iran's isolation and alienate Western nations that have been trying to keep options open with Tehran despite its crackdown on protesters.
…At the same time, the arrests test the U.S. and Europe's policy, which has so far been to avoid an overly harsh reaction to Iran's postelection crisis. The West has been wary of condemnations of Iran's leadership, in part for fear of undermining prospects for future talks with Tehran, particularly over its controversial nuclear program. So far, the EU has taken an incremental approach. On Friday, a day after issuing a public call for the staffers' release, governments across the 27-nation bloc summoned Iran's ambassadors to present the demand in person. Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said the EU's "escalatory approach to Iran was working." But French President Nicolas Sarkozy said his country backs Britain's push for tougher action, "so that Iranian leaders will really understand that the path that they have chosen will be a dead end."

YES.
The dead end is that ABSOLUTE POWER in the hands of only “a few countries” in the world surely leads to more DEAD people in other countries. AND some day it will have to stop. For the sake of all of those who are living in the bombed and destroyed countries or being threatened…
These “spanking wars” only enriches the Western (military) industries, the News outlets and the whole Media industry behind it…. There is nothing “dignified” or “human rights” in them.
A human life is supposed to be more important than my pocket. Or is it?
Or at least that’s what we learn as the main ideology of the Developed world … but I guess many have also forgotten the 6st and 10th commandments … and that is really PITIFUL.
A fair trial is actually a more civilized manner to blame someone of a wrongdoing rather than BOMBING a whole country for the wrongdoings of a few people.
Let’s see what we will see and let’s not worry too much about seeing criminal and illegal action stopped legally (whether they are normal citizens or “immuned” diplomats). If such a method is to be considered unacceptable, then the ICC should not exist either and no one will have to pay for humanitarian crimes that are so easily decided in round tables and white and red houses….
As if other human beings in the world are too “dumb” to think and decide for themselves about their OWN internal affairs.
Now that the UN has been “de-credibilized” thanks to the biased attitude of the SC, the only thing that is left for any global consensus is the UN Charter which all member countries are supposed to be respecting:
Article 2 – The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1, shall act in accordance with the following Principles.
The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.
All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from their membership, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter.
All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
All Members shall refrain in the international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.
…. And finally
7- Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter VII.
(Chapter VII – Article 39 – The Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression and shall make recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42, to maintain or restore international peace and security…)
THANK YOU the Security Council. BUT NO THANK YOU for maintaining constant WAR by the constant AGGRESSIONS that you impose on the most peaceful and law-abiding countries, and their innocent populations which are simply doing/ respecting just what the first articles of the UN charter has set (as the most important principles).
Maybe it’s really time for a CHANGE? But in such way that countries and people are judged, for what they have actually done, and not only in what is promised by them or “expected” of them.
And we will see in time what will be really done, by who… and realize the excuses that are being prepared to justify the violence of what is already planned to happen in the future.
History will tell those who will and can still read history books in the future.
Keeping calm and maintaining peace is the best situation for intelligent and wise behavior. This doesn’t mean that if someone slaps you sadistically, that everyone is a masochist/a slave/or weak and wants, or accepts, to be hit again….
And some people (and country leaders) if they are slapped, answer by slapping back. Because they are not someone's slave or child.
So it’s up to those who start thinking un-shrewdly of slapping someone they consider “weak”, to refrain from imposing their “bully powers”.
They just might get surprised.
