Pfo:
Give my best to the Queen and especially for my husband who is a member of the Royal Navy. Maybe if you were wearing a uniform you would have a different point of view.

As far as whose waters they in, it was Iraqi. Only about 3 miles in, but they were there. The UN (Useless Nimcompoops) will sit by and play with their fingers. You say that Iran said that they were in their waters?! Well, since you believe what others tell you so easily, I have this real nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. CHEAP!

Edward W:
Why? Wake up and smell the muslims. Read the links. These people will not respond to the slow, plodding, placating diplomacy of the UN. They want you dead. Them first.

luminous:
Do a little more research. No, these are not just ANOTHER group Islamic rebels. They are fully organized and they are supported by the nutcase at the top, working parallel to the Iranian Army. They don't even use the Iranian flag - they use a black one with muslim stuff on it, including an arm holding a machine gun held aloft with a globe in the background.

Answer 1

they are playing silly games, they want to be careful, they are not far away from a spanking already. This stupid act will not get them any respect from anyone, even from the rest of the Arab nations ( yes i know, dont call the Iranians Arabs, they dont like it!)

Attacking now would only show all the Muslim fanatics that we are the war mongers, and they are just exercising their right to detain trespassers, totally wrong but i have spent time out there and trust me, that is what the media would do.

This is better left to some serious talking, and backed up with a serious, you had better release them or else.........

If they refuse to release, i am sure there are MANY wealthy and important Iranians in the UK who we can trade for our service personnel!
Sod the human rights and the PC bit on this issue, lock the Iranians up and trade them, they haven't done anything wrong, BUT neither have our people!

If that doesn't work, then spank em!

Answer 2

Oh Goody extra gamers interior the Mayhem of Iraq....i think of we'd desire to continuously attack some uranium enrichment sites and open up a extensive base suitable next to Iran...militia speaking... i prefer united states of america to win asserting that Obama might desire to truly have those to blame for commencing this conflict in penitentiary. Thats potential the bush boys might desire to be punished for this quagmire if something! I mean each and every time issues flow incorrect in Iraq its like AHHHH why are we right here!! a million trillion stimulus bill is a good purchase while in comparison with Iraq even on a solid day!

Answer 3

No, we shouldn't attack Iran. If they refuse to give these sailors back then they should feel the force of the United Nations.

One things for sure, Iran will be the setting of the next World War. The trouble with that is it will only last a day and the country will be never heard of again.

Answer 4

It wasn't an attack. Nobody was killed. and there's some disagreement as to wether they were in Iranian territorial waters. It's certainly not time to attack. That would only bring more death, destruction, and economic ruin, for everyone involved. There are proper channels such as the UN, so conflict can be avoided.

Whoever said that Tehran should be nuked is an idiot. There are millions of people living there, and you'd sentence them all to death? That's disgusting.

And I'm British, by the way. They were soldiers of my country, and i don't think that there should be military retalliation.

Answer 5

I don't know if it was Iraqi waters or Iranian waters, but it is certainly not British waters... the best way to have the britains coming home quickly is to discuss... like in 2004 (they went home 3 days later)

Answer 6

I sincerely hope the British sailors are returned to UK authorities unharmed. I doubt this is enough provocation for a declaration of war as long as the sailors are returned unharmed.

Answer 7

The United Nations is useless.

Get the sailors back and then decided how to proceed.

And yes, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela's Chavez are trying their best to create a third World War - biggest mistake they'll ever make.....

Answer 8

Attack - with what?

Can Great Britain even field a naval force in the Gulf that has a hope of winning on their own?

Answer 9

According to Iran, they were in Iranian waters. I looked at a map of the incident, and it appears to be very close to the Iranian border. By the way, Mr. war-monger, this is not an ATTACK, they were detained for trespassing, which you might consider an invasion on the part of the Brits.
