Now we’re kicking you out of your home:
The Iranian authorities have ordered the family of Neda Agha Soltan out of their Tehran home after shocking images of her death were circulated around the world.
Neighbours said that her family no longer lives in the four-floor apartment building on Meshkini Street, in eastern Tehran, having been forced to move since she was killed. The police did not hand the body back to her family, her funeral was cancelled, she was buried without letting her family know and the government banned mourning ceremonies at mosques, the neighbours said.
What a world.
Steve Schippert describes a scene of “unimaginable horror.”
Possibly related: In other news, the president is considering rescinding his invitation to Iranian diplomats to celebrate freedom.
Update: It’s confirmed. Iranians no longer welcome to a hot dog roast they probably would have avoided anyway.

I wonder what Jimmah Carter will say about this. Indubitably, the left will find some way to blame Bush.
The citizens noticed the lights at the Oval Office burning brightly, as the new poll results were sharply debated throughout the night. How had President Obama’s stern words affected the construction of his legacy? They know, it is the most important task to ponder. The future is “too big to fail” and must be managed, some argued…as the people in the streets of Tehran felt abandoned.
(one possible future…very near term)
Hey, I said I could and would negotiate with these guys without preconditions–so why should I stop now? Signed–Juggy
Give the guy a break what with worrying about NORK nukes, fired IGs, trillion dollar deficits, health care for the social masses, finding a good church in DC, appeasing the muslim world, and finding 1/2 of 1% savings in his budgets, the guy doesn’t have time to effect a coherent strategy on Iran. And anyway the freighters haven’t delivered any new missiles or bombs so what’s the rush? He told them in stern words, what else matters. Those words will be written into the history books for all his adoring masses to scoop up at B&N.
Crisis over. NEXT!
Well, I’ll show them. NO HOT DOGS FOR YOU!
Now, where is that ice cream stand?
For ones who want USA to go into IRAN and kill them, NO we are fighting 2 wars NOW! If you feel so strongly, put on your guns, sneak into the country and kill them all since you are RAMBO. I only worship the one true God, Jehovah, not any man and this has to be settled by the Iranian people, it is their war, their fight! We are not the ones to fight for them.
So, I’m getting your vibe that’s OK if we stand around and see you get beat up?
Not how it works…unless you think you have no responsibility to your fellow man.

Have an ITCH?
Whoa Ms B, who pulled your chain too tight? Whoever said anything about “sneaking into the country and kill them all”? By this logic we shouldn’t have fought the Germans, the North Koreans, we shouldn’t support Israel’s right to exist, and Afghanistan? Leave to its own feudal future. This country has not earned the mantle of “world superpower” by quietly letting dictators run roughshod over their populace. Admittedly, our history is filled with errors of omission and commission, but the overall path is generally in the direction of supporting democracy and freedom. And where did Jehovah come in to this? Last I heard the Israelis had Him cornered so feel free to worship Jehovah/Yahweh/Lord of Lord and King of Kings (but we are not a Christian nation any longer so do at your own peril). And while doing so please lift a prayer for the Iranians struggling to get out from the boot of a tyrant and his hate breathing ayatollahs/mullahs and their brand of “islamic government”. No matter the race or religion no peaceful citizen deserves the fate of Neda.
I saw this elsewhere, and can’t claim credit for it, but it gave me a laugh.
The Obama administration has abandoned the concept of Hot Dog Diplomacy and instead chosen to use Soup Nazi Diplomacy:
“No hot dog for you! Come back, ONE year!”
xformed,
The lights may be on, but I don’t think anyone’s at home.
Well, maybe it’s a wine and cheese and special pizza party…and late night sundaes keeping the lights on.
Ms B ain’t me, ya’ll. Just sayin’…
I knew that.
Ms. B??? I didn’t know the Andy Griffith show was still on the air! Ms. B is kinda actin’ out of character, isn’t she? Better call Andy…
Whoa – who pi$$ed in Ms. B’s cornflakes this morning?
I went to the shooting range today. Wish I had a pic of the Ayatollah to put at the top of the silhouette.
