With the latest news of Iran taking UK hotages in Iraq waters, is it about time we attacked Iran?

Answer 1

I think they are pushing the world into action which is sad for the people of Iran. The leadership thinks they can take on the whole world and win. Intelligent, NOT!!!!

Answer 2

The problem is that we don't know for sure if the British were in Iraq waters...They might have crossed from mistake (or intentionally) into Iran's waters,in which case the only one who has the right to be angry it's Iran...
So nope,it's not time to attack Iran...We don't know for sure what happened there,so we really don't need to start another useless war for another fake reason...

Answer 3

Answer 4

Before World War II the world was fed up with war. World War I has taken a big toll and everyone wanted to avoid war at all costs. Hitler knew the situation, and manipulated the world into thinking he wanted peace. He spent the time given to him by Chamberlain to build up his war machine.

On September 1st 1939 Hitler started his invasion of Europe, 62 million death later he committed suicide. Ahmadinejad is ten times more dangerous than Hitler, he will soon have enough weapons to destroy to world ten times over. However, with the war in Iraq, the world is getting fed up with conflicts and we just want to end it at all cost just like pre WWII which makes me quite scared.

Do we have to attack? Of course!! we must bomb Tehran day and night until the Iranian dictatorship falls. We must bomb like we bombed in WWII, B-52's carpet bombing every strategic point we can find in Iran, Nuclear plants, Presidential Palaces, every military strong hold. Go Get Em America, before we are all become black ash!

No. It's time to get the hell out of those hateful countries. Then our troops can be with us here where we need them. War isn't the answer, it only results in death.

Answer 7

We need to do as the UK asks us.

Answer 8

With what troops? Bush has all our troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and in front of his office, guarding him from people who have a clue.

Answer 9

Iran is in a heap of trouble.....

Iran is dealing with two issues. First, Iran has captured 15 British sailors. Second, Iran has refused to cooperate with the U.N. regarding cessation of uranium enrichment.

Military confrontation may be on the horizon.

Iran has elicited "confessions" from the 15 British sailors they captured and may put them on trial for espionage. The penalty for espionage in Iran is death.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article1563877.ece
“If it is proven that they deliberately entered Iranian territory, they will be charged with espionage. If that is proven, they can expect a very serious penalty since according to Iranian law, espionage is one of the most serious offences.” Espionage carries a death sentence.

Iran's detention of 15 Royal Navy personnel is "unjustified and wrong", Prime Minister Tony Blair has said. UK officials are waiting to be granted access to the HMS Cornwall staff, who were seized on Friday, and have not been told where the group are held.

"It simply is not true that they went into Iranian territorial waters and I hope the Iranian government understands how fundamental an issue this is for us," Mr Blair said.

"We have certainly sent the message back to them very clearly indeed. They should not be under any doubt at all about how seriously we regard this act, which is unjustified and wrong."

On March 23, 2007, U.S. and British officials said a boarding party from the frigate HMS Cornwall was seized about during a routine inspection of a merchant ship inside Iraqi territorial waters near the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway.

The seizure of two Royal Navy inflatable boats took place just outside the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, a 125-mile channel dividing Iraq from Iran. Its name means Arab Coastline in Arabic, and Iranians call it Arvandrud - Persian for Arvand River. A 1975 treaty recognized the middle of the waterway as the border.

Iranians send arms to Iraqi extremists, including sophisticated roadside bombs. This week, two commanders of an Iraqi Shiite militia told The Associated Press in Baghdad that hundreds of Iraqi Shiites had crossed into Iran for training by the elite Quds force, a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard thought to have trained Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.

Regarding enrichment of uranium, Iranian President Mahmaoud Ahmadinejad abruptly cancelled his appearance before the U.N. security council and in his stead, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki Iran spoke. He indicated that Iran was willing to continue negotiations but without the precondition that uranium enrichment must be halted.

Mottaki said, "the world has two options to proceed on the nuclear issue: continued negotiations or confrontation. Choosing the path of confrontation ... will have its own consequences. "

The U.N. security council unanimously voted to expand sanctions on March 24, 2007.

The new resolution 1747 calls on Iran to comply fully with all previous UN resolutions and join negotiations to reach agreement so as to restore international confidence in the peaceful nature of its nuclear program. Full transparency and cooperation with the IAEA are required. Suspension of Iran’s banned nuclear activities will elicit the parallel suspension of sanctions. The package of incentives offered Tehran last year for its cooperation remains on the table.
