Iran should be boycotted by everyone. This is the same deal as Germany in the 1930's. In fact, the USA and its allies should state very clearly that one nuclear suitcase exploding anywhere in the world will mean total destruction of iran.
Is this a precedent? Will Charlton refuse to play in any country that tests missiles?
Iran is not the problem. its their leaders. they are so full of xxxx and blinded by their own ignorance. their intentions are so obvious that even i would implement securities assuring total victory over iranian forces and weapons asap. they were not the only ones who promised total destruction of allied forces. late
In spite of all the problems Israel and its political proxies create against Iran, the Iranian people talk with much admiration for Israel and the West generally. Iranians people have a lot of time for Israel and it’s people, I think I might be correct in saying that Iran has the largest most Ancient community of Jews living in any Muslim country There have been all sorts of schemes to get the Iranian Jews to migrate, but they won’t. The reason is that the Iranian people are decent human beings and respectful to all including the fellow Iranian Jews who are a part of Iranian heritage.

It's too bad to punish the innocent in Iran or countries of its ilk but if their own people can't or won't stop the craziness, someone has got to. Can't leave it up to the Russians or Chinese because their governments are just as off-kilter. I'm afraid that pulling out from any games is just a minute drop in the bucket in a battle brewing that might last decades or longer. Who but us to try to stop it.
To The Iran Voice...The problem is not with the Iranian People...The problem is with the Iranian Leadership.
*Also, if you read the article more closely, it has to do with 'Charlton cancels Iran game due to missile tests' not how many token Jews live in the country of Iran.
*Although there should be a separation between Politics and sports...it does not always work out that way. There have been many examples in the last 100 years where athletes were not able to compete due to politics.
*Iran has been warned by the West that to pursue your present goals will lead the country of Iran down a path of Isolation. Why do you think that these soccer games were cancelled? Why do you think that Total pulled out of a very financially rewarding contract? Soon, other countries and more business's will stop dealing with Iran as well.
**The problem is not with Israel or with Jews. The problem has to do with the Iranian leadership. If there was no Israel...every Middle East country would be scared to death of Iran and its intentions to control and dominate the entire Middle East and make it one Islamic state under the Ayatollah
It is very much an Iranian characteristic to stick up for the under dog, if Israel were to be the victim of aggression the Iranians would full heartedly stick up for the people of Israel, Iranians admire culture science they have a high sense of fair play. They do not like injustice whatever quarter it comes from.

Just plain silly. Normally I'd say much more, but at this point...why?
sports + politics = bullshit
Keep em separate. I would wager that very few of you who cheered charlton's decision will be boycotting the olympics as well.
In Charlton's case this is very hypocritical. Last year Britain exported more arms than any other country. Britain has ICBMs and nuclear weapons. Britain spends huge amounts of money on developing it’s weapon systems every year. Britain has invaded countless countries and treated their people most poorly. Britain has a long history of treating other people as inferior and most still have that mentality. I am no fan of Iran’s leaders but I hope they take Charlton to the cleaners.
How pathetic of Charlton nonAthletic. Of course they can be excused given the fact that they would receive more goals from the Zionist controlled media than they could bear. So, Charlton nonAthletic is basically showing its fear of the Zionist regime, not the Iranian missiles. Not everyone has courage and moral authority to stand up to the Zionist regime, you know.
Iran does not recognize the state of Israel. Israel is imposed on the land that does not belong to its proponents. It is very simple really. But Europeans have a general tendency to become very stupid and ignorant. The clearest example is Nazi Germany. And now the new Nazi state imported and forced on the Middle East by the same Europe, namely Israel. It is not only the racist, occupationist and criminal 'ideals' of the Zionist government that is the root cause of Iran's stance towards Israel. Of course, 60 years of racism, rape and murder has vindicated the position of Iran towards the racist Zionist regime.
This is ridiculous. Sports and politics must be kept seperate in a world when often times it is only sports and the arts that keep a bit of sanity and distance between the nutcases who try to ruin this world through the lack of effective communication. I do not see the parallels between missle tests, that were in fact in response to Israeli missle tests, and some men kicking a soccer ball around. It isn't like they'll be in the 83rd minute and all of a sudden bombs are let loose. Let them play, I am sure the majority of these football/soccer players have the maturity and integrity to 'play nice' unlike all of these war hungry leaders. It is like the US trying to block Cuba from participating in the global baseball tournamnet a few years back. The Cubans played and contrary to Bush's low IQed thought process would have predicted, the Cubans just played baseball without infiltrating American players with communistic propaganda... Stob being dumb and support the game...
Oh the irony of a UK football team boycotting ANY other country after all the people the UK has murdered over the last few years! Charlton Athletic aren't very bright, are they? Iran does not have nuclear weapons, Britain does. Iran hasn't started a war in over 1000 years whereas Britain... you know the rest.
