Britain Calls Woodshed Meeting Iranian Ambassador Because Khameini Called The UK "Evil"

Imagine that. 

The Iranian leaders have been calling us the "Great Satan" for 30 years now, and the people regularly call for "Death to America," 

and

we do nothing.

They hassle the Brits one time, and they're pissed. And, rightly so. We should never put up with this shit.

From Hot Air:

The British government has demanded an appearance of the Iranian ambassador in London after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei referred to them as “evil”.  The British, who have diplomatic and trade relations with Iran, took offense to the speech, and demanded an apology.  Instead, they chewed out a junior-level staffer:

Britain’s Foreign Office said Friday it had told an Iranian diplomat it was concerned by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s criticism of Britain, which he called evil.

During Friday prayers at Tehran University, Khamenei accused the United States, Britain and what he called Iran’s other enemies of fomenting unrest. He singled out Britain for specific criticism.

“I will tell you the outstanding diplomats of some Western countries who talk to us with diplomatic courtesy up to now during the past few days have taken their masquerade away from their faces and they are showing their true image,” he said according to a translation provided by the BBC. “They are displaying their enmity against the Islamic state, and the most evil of them is the British government.” …

The Foreign Office summoned the Iranian ambassador for talks, but said that, in the end, a more junior diplomat — the charge d’affaires, Safar Ali Eslamian Koupaei — attended a meeting with political director Mark Lyall Grant.

The Foreign Office said it was told the charge d’affaires was attending in the absence of the ambassador.

“We made clear to the Iranian charge that the supreme leader’s comments were unacceptable and had no basis in fact,” a Foreign Office spokesman said on condition of anonymity in line with policy.

Perhaps buoyed by Khamenei’s statement that the British were more evil than the Great Satan, Obama insisted that he would not react to Khamenei’s speech or express any support for the demonstrators in Iran...

France, Germany, and now Britain — all trading partners with Iran — have managed to stand on the side of demonstrators attempting to peacefully end their oppression.  Where is America, the beacon of liberty, at this moment?  Attempting to build credibility with the oppressors.  Shameful.
