Let's Play...

(update below)

..."What's wrong with that flag?"

This is the Iranian flag. Notice the green strip is on the top.

This is the Iranian flag in the British Embassy in Tehran. Normally, the British flag would be on the flag pole at a British embassy, as is the custom at all embassies throughout the world. But, as you all know, things are different in Iran, and there is currently a gang of thugs holding British diplomats hostage in the British embassy in Iran. But what does it mean that the Iranian flag, now hoisted at the British embassy, is upside down?  The thugs are stupid amateurs, would be my guess.  In any case, I would also say this is an omen of some sort, not a sign of distress, which is usually what an upside down flag is meant to signal.  Perhaps this is the year when the regime will fall.

God save the Queen. Rule Britannia.

UPDATE: Mark Steyn weighs in.

I think we should just turn the damned country into a parking lot and be done with it. Save a lot of trouble in the future.

It doesn't matter what we do. History is full of good intentions that turn out to have unforeseen consequences down the road.

If there was some way of dropping bombs on the Mad Mullahs and their employees and supporters and leaving everyone else, I'd rather go that way, but alas....

It would help to have a different person in the White House, too. But, what can a poor, stupid Canuck, in the middle of nowhere, do about that?
