Last Straw :The British Should Not Be Appeasing the Mullahs of Iran.

By Amir Taheri

The National Review Online 6.30.2003

For over 150 years many Iranians have believed that nothing can happen in politics anywhere without the British having a hand.

One of the most popular proverbs in Persian reads: All is the work of the English! (Kar kar englisi hast!)

Try telling the average Persian that long gone are the days when the British Empire, often using gunboat diplomacy, could impose its wishes on weaker nations. They believe that even today, Britain, although a middle-sized power in military and economic terms, is the world's real "superpower" in terms of political chicanery and diplomatic guile.
