I love this film so much I purchased an old copy of the Blandford Handbook Of Foreign Birds vol.1 from ebay and when it arrived I carefully burnt the cover in exactly the right places - see 2:37 - Next Im going to redecorate my front room to look exactly like the Beckett's after the attack.

@SultanChase Iran has attacked American and English embassies. They want war but they are too cowardly to declare it.

[SultanChase]

@SultanChase You may recall the then U.S. Senator (now U.S. Secretary of State) Hilary Clinton threatening to "obliterate" Iran during her presidential campaign in 2008. Other U.S. politicians speak openly about their desire to attack Iran on a DAILY BASIS. In contrast, the Iranian government has NEVER threatened to attack/invade the U.S.A. Moreover, whereas the U.S. military possesses the capacity to invade Iran, Iran does NOT have the capacity to threaten the U.S.A. militarily.

@SultanChase 3) Under the Iranian system of government, Ahmadinejad as President does NOT have ultimate authority over the Iranian military. This power lies with the state's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whom the U.S. military, and intelligence services have described as a "rational" individual; 4) The rowdy chants of Iranian civilians of "Death to America" are less alarming that the specific policy statements of U.S. politicians of "bombing Iran".
