If that were the case oil prices wouldn't be so high and Iran wouldn't be seeking nuclear weapons.

: TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — About 200
: students
: threw rocks and firecrackers at the
: British Embassy on Sunday, calling
: for the expulsion of the country's
: ambassador because of the standoff
: over Iran's capture of 15 British
: sailors and marines.
: Several dozen policemen prevented
: the protesters from entering the
: embassy compound, although a few
: briefly scaled a fence outside the
: compound's walls before being pushed
: back, according to an Associated
: Press reporter at the scene.
:
: The protesters chanted "Death
: to Britain" and "Death to
: America" as they hurled stones
: into the courtyard of the embassy.
: They also demanded that the Iranian
: government expel the British
: ambassador and close down the
: embassy, calling it a "den of
: spies."
:
: Britain's Foreign Office said there
: had been no damage to the compound.
:
: A British Foreign Office spokeswoman
: in London, speaking on condition of
: anonymity in line with government
: rules, said diplomats were working
: normally inside the embassy.

: "There is a police presence
: outside and there is no risk to
: those inside," said the
: spokeswoman.
:
: Britain and Iran are at a standoff
: over the 15 seized sailors and
: marines. Britain said they were in
: Iraqi waters when detained, but Iran
: has contended the Britons entered
: its waters illegally.
:
: British government and defense
: officials refused to discuss a
: report that claimed a Royal Navy
: captain or commodore would be sent
: to Tehran as a special envoy to
: negotiate the return of the
: personnel.
:
: The official would deliver an

:

: "The responsible way forward is
: to continue the often unglamorous,
: but important and quiet diplomatic
: work to get our personnel

: before returning to England.
: "What we want is a way out of

:
: "Instead of apologizing over
