Regime change in Iran?

The middle east peace envoy has said on Sky news that it is probably better if Iran had regime change. Noting the fact that it has according to preceding OECD reports had democratic elections for seperate state and faith legislatures (however fundamentalist). What grounds are there to remove the regime?

1) The detention of minorities at Camp Ashraf and Iraqi prisoners.
2) Electoral irregularities
3) Withdrawal from and failure to co-operate from Nuclear arms resulation by the IAEA.

Their defence to 3) Is that the civilian nuclear power plants have been or are being regulated bilaterally are now coming online. One of them is providing electricity and so long as it remains in a geologically stable area could so continue and aid the economies in the rest of the region. Surely that is better than a risk to a nuclear air strike the resultant damage could affect the water supply of an entire region and Russia, India and China risking radicalised populations where the Muslim faqith is in the majority. That is why the Iranian situation, however awful some of their governments rhetoric is an international matter at the UN.

So if anyone is planning anything go for their seperate missile sites to remove their first strike capability but please don't do it Israel as they could hit your civilian reactor and poison the Medditteranean.

Interpol arrest warrant for Gadaffi

Interpol have now issued arrest warrants for Col Gadaffi, His son Saif Al Islam and their intelligence chief. From now on anyone who harbours them may be an accessory which is why according to 24 Hour news channels some of his generals are leaving the country and claiming asylum as a defeated combatant (a reason why the UK used to accept some refugees at teh beginning and during the Cold War). The rest of the Gaddaffi Family if non combatant have the same human rights as the rest of that states population and are entitled to asylum under international law. However whether the combatants are also allowed this I don't know. Hence if you're in Sirte or Wani Balid its better to surrender.

The American perspective on Syria.

Further to the previous post the US have called for change to occur in Syria. Hence its a very difficult situation to assess from solely open source information on 24 hour news channels.

Syria and Lybia

The French and Russian Foreign ministers met yesterday to discuss Syria. The French said that recent events were tantamount to crimes against humanity and that the Assad Regime should desist. Said shootings had prevented the head of the Arab league from visiting.

The Russians have called for a different solution to Lybia and that some of the sanctions may be counterproductive (possibly meaning that it could radicalise the population and potentially jeopardise Palestinian statehood)

Re Lybia the convoy south contains those who fought for what was then the lawfully recognised government. Whether they are allowed to dispose of the Gold from said regime (which could include some of the Gold the Uk sold off in 1999) as if mercenaries its their payment from Gadaffi is a matter for international lawyers and whichever state they surrender it to such as Niger or Burkina Faso. Avoid all emails pruporting to advertise ex Bank of England Gold, you could get ripped off.

Could a new party in Scotland win over scottish Lib DEm and non aligned voters or t5hose who haven't voted tory in over 30 years for the UK legislature. Scotland is devolved and has a seperate legal system (as evolved and adapted by UK and now devolved law) so it could rebuild the UK and expand the centre right north of the border.
