Iran Shuts Down US Virtual Embassy

bonch writes "Less than 12 hours after the U.S. launched a virtual embassy for Iran, the Iranian government blocked access to the website, directing visitors to a government page proclaiming the site illegal. The White House condemned the move, calling Iran's internet policies 'an electronic curtain of surveillance and censorship around its people.'"

1 - The US is "everything that's wrong with the world". Really? If the US dissapeared tomorrow, just what do you think would happen to the world? Honestly.

Must have touched quite the nerve for you to take that literally.

Right, the Islamic Republic of Iran just wants to live their lives peacefully. And they do nothing bad.... like, sponsor Hezbollah or ship weapons or participate in kidnappings. Nope, if the US went away, everything would be right as rain in Iran. Right?

Straighten up your own act before whining about the rest of the world.

Who is "we"? The entire rest of the planet?

Pretty much.

I agree!

Blocking websites like this is a bad thing; I wholeheartedly agree. Now, what was that about the Obama administration pushing for a Great Firewall of America?
