The Right 'Honourable' Tony Blair MP has said the Iranian seizure of 15 servicemen/women is 'unjustified' . . . mmmm, any other recent injustices recently - Lebanon? Iraq? Am I alone in finding this hypocrasy difficult to stomach?

I'm saying that American & Britain do what they like (regardless of UN opinion) also Israel practically obliterated Lebanon without a whisper of condemnation . . . I'm not a terrorist just someone who believes that chickens come home to roost.

Pinhead: Isreal invaded Lebanon because the Americans gave them the nod and loads of weapons.

Arjkifep .... thank you, thank you, i was about to delete the question as i thought there were only those wanting 'more-of-the-same' posting today! I am trying to point out that the US, UK & Israel cannot march around doing whatever they fancy in the middle east and then get huffy when something unathourised happens to them. Why don't people see that? Why doesn't the screaming hypocrisy hit them bang in the brain everytime Blair or the Foreign Office open their mouths?

Hi Lana Lan - my focus isn't diluted, infact I can multi focus which is what i've done here, Hypocrisy = Lebanon, Iraq and Israel, all 3 were examples of hypocrisy. Do you get it now?

THIS YOUNG MAN HAS A VALID POINT, PLEASE RESPECT IT.
I just posted, and addressed "Rebel's" question. I see his concerns, and they are very legitimate.
However, I think Blair might be a bit like Bush, who acts as if acts of retaliation are such a shock.
I also see the hypocrisy, regardless of how it is spelled. I think that if we actually "negotiated" with the middle east, and tried to understand their points of view, we would have far less bombs, hostages, casualties of war, etc.

You agree with the Iranian seizure? The topic on board here is about the seizure. Tossing out jetsam dilutes the focus of your point. What is it? Hypocrisy? Lebanon, Iraq? Blair? Pick a point and ask.
I'll stick with your original Iranian thought. It is never right to hold some one against their will. Nothing else matters.

do not hear to Maxi's answer above. the reason the border is being enforced by utilising the coalition is via way of the reality the oil structures placed in Iraqi waters are a mandatory lifeline for their economic gadget. The IRGCN have been human beings who captured the Brits, they don't look to be an same because of the fact of actuality the expert Iranian military. This team has been condemned as a Revolutionary Organization 17 November for their continuing acts of harassing warships engaged in innocuous passage, and the truly undemanding actuality that optimum of their operations are funded via way of piracy. much like Cuba, the Iranian's declare extra advantageous territorial water than the the the remainder of the international's international locations. that's thoroughly obtainable that the Brits have been in a disputed section so the two aspects are telling the truly actuality of their own way.

Wiggins, haven't you learned by now that unless you ask a question on this board about shopping or beer or....or....if Paris Hilton's a natural blonde or not, you're only going to get responses that are akin to a caveman's grunting.
Why would you expect them to actually KNOW anything about the world outside the primetime TV schedule they follow? Probably they think that Iranians are the same as Iraqis who are the same as Yemeni who are the same as Afghans who are the...
I guess you never posted on the old discussion boards on Yahoo news. You'd know then what the Einsteins that post here are capable of thinking.
As for me, I think this is just politics. Blair says the sailors "weren't in Iranian" waters (surprise surprise) while the Iranians say they were (another surprise). Who knows who's lying? The western media---another big surprise---is siding with Blair. Go figure

You must have a precedent event to get some support for your ambitions, wither moral or not. wither concocted or not.
Blair probably sent those troops into Iranian water,(but calls it disputed waters) and most likely channeled that info to Iran authorities.
It would have been best for the Iranians to just kick the marines out of thier waters.

could this be the chance they have been waiting for to go into iran if the sailors are not released then the uk must go in to get them this will also give mr bush the chance to support his puppet friend tony and follow him over the border two weeks ago israel asked for permission to fly through controlled airspace over iraq so they could bomb irans nuclear sites so we will see how long it takes for this either to blow up into a war or for iran to back down.

Let's just keep our opinions to ourselves and leave it to the military and government after all 15 lives are at risk here. Tie a yellow ribbon and pray for them and their families.

In my opinion, Tony Blair is correct.
It appears that someone has been feeding you a very jaded view of current events,
