Do we wait untill they get killed ? Lets wait untill we get attacked again. Thats the problem with the US people who think this way .

I fail to see what the capture of British sailors has to do with the way Americans may or may not think. This situation is NOT up to the US to handle; they were British sailors, so let Tony Blair handle it. We have enough problems without someone laying this in our lap. Be realistic, if nothing else.
IMHO, this only proves to the world just what a loose cannon Iran is, and what the nation's true intentions are.

The anti war people should be happy that diplomacy is the first tool to be used in trying to gain the release of the 15 British Marines. Of course there will be those that say they shouldn't have been there in the first place. This is the same type of thinking that would have the police leave an area if one of them were hurt by criminals. Run away, Run away.

Learn a little history. The Iranians have done this before to British ships and after some posturing they sent the men and ships home.
If you are so keen on fighting a war, then join up and fight or send your kids to fight. Be ready for burials though. It happens when people like you get your way.
Why not demand that we go to war over all the tourists who visit overseas and get ripped off, beaten, robbed, raped and killed?

Should Iran not wait for more diplomats to be detained?

I say we assist our Allies and take them back, by force if necessary.
