Canada is showing an unusual amount of backbone over the death of Zahra Kazemi. The Iranians are upset that Canada is upset that the Iranians beat her to death for being a reporter. It's a thing Arab countries do. They kill people, imprison them without trial, torture them, then get upset if you notice. Canada has protested the murder, evidently done by some branch of the Iranian police. Iran has now demanded that Canada withdraw their ambassador. (The ambassador is probably saying "Yes! A return to air conditioning and bathing!") More and more attention is being focused on the sorry state of affairs in Iran. Let's hope Canada keeps its backbone and continues to apply attention and pressure on this branch of the Axis of Evil.
