This kind of thing has happend before. Those Marines were seized in a long disputed area- and it's going to take alittle "saber rattling" & alot of diplomacy on BOTH sides to get them released. Handled calmly- it should turn out all right.

Who do you think is going to prosecute them, United Nation justice system? Yes, the Iranian justice system will prosecute them and accuse them for something so they can make an example of them to the rest of the world. What would happen to anyone who come into their country.

its basic political man-ouvering
its saying see what you do as a guest //host

this is by the rules of a dovereign state
respect that that state has the religion of peace
the one god as father ; jesus as prophet . and law writen in sober heart
drink ing only new wine [unfermented]as jesus is till peace comes
that drunken folly not become vile folly [nor folly of fools]
its like the dont tread on us , of the land of in god we trust

in chess its a classic castleing moove
[they did invent the game ] and we are on thier board threatening thier peace[pieces]
civilisation is a thing easy to learn hard to keep
butfreinds can negotiate ; diplomicy is t5he highest jihad
its like peace it lasts till the first shot is fired
and diplomaticcly even beyond untill the diplomatic peace emerges at the end
what about being one
for the one god
good /god /love /light sustaining life
real time living children of the living god
well the visa never came on time diplomatic incompitance or grand satanding that forces the leader to not be heard at the united nations ,
the non appearance [non defense ] of further threats and ultimations
and un rules and deadlines just as with iraq
the wheat board food for oil all over again
whos son will clean up big this time?
what else are any a living child of the rightious living god to do?
you shame a man on his own door stop
a free man
[a free child of god can go any where on gods own lands ]
yet they play mind games with visa and security
learn all the sides to the story

I agree. I think they did this in 2004 and released the prisoners too.

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.

In addition to the British naval vessels at the Diego Garcia atoll in the Indian ocean, there is a multi-national force in the Persian Gulf. The British HMS Cornwall aircraft carrier strike group, the American aircraft carrier strike group Bremerton-based aircraft carrier CVN-74 John C. Stennis, the American aircraft carrier strike group USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and the French nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle and its task force are all in close appoximation in the Persian Gulf. The USS Nimitz may also be in the Persian Gulf as it was scheduled for its WESTPAC07 deployment to replace the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

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.
The full text of the draft of resolution 1747 appears at this website:
