How long should England wait before taking military actions? If they execute them should they then go to War? Diplomacy is great but when do you say enough is enough? Do you think Iran thinks the West are pushovers?

Absolutely not. Blair should barricade himself in his office turn down the thermostat and put on a sweater. Make no public appearances and work through third parties, like Jesse Jackson to try to get the sailors released.

In no case should the Iranians suffer any negative consequences for violating the territorial waters of Iraq or for capturing British soldiers there. I'm sure if the British are willing to grovel and pay a sufficient ransome the sailors will be released unharmed within a couple of years. After all the Iranians are governed by the peaceful religion of Islam, and can be counted on to behave in a more civilized manner than the western world.

Or the British could grow a spine and call it what it is an act of war, and declare that a state of war exists. But thats not going to happen. Bush has created this entire situation. Eye witnesses spotted Chaney directing the capture from one of the Revolutionary guard's patrol boats.

England is a nuclear power with the capability to deliver. Hit Tehran with a hydrogen bomb. This will get the attention of these Islamic S.O.B.s, and they (whom ever survives) will think twice before they illegally capture others in international waters. The Muslim Islamic cults do not value life and have no respect for diplomacy. If the Islamic Iranians should kill the the British captives, then by all means, total nuclear annihilation of Iran. Throughout the history of mankind, there has never been respect for weak, wimpy, pushover countries. Only the strong and mighty survive in the real world.

Reagan effectively gave a personality of the loopy cowboy with a nuclear arsenal waiting to pound them flat, and Ahwannajihad little doubt recollects this and accordingly needs his personal, this hostage business enterprise is only a stunt to at least one a million,. Unionize help in the back of Iran in the adventure that they could galvanize an attack 2. purchase time for his or her guns software (keep in mind that movie "conflict Of the Bulge"?) and three. attempt to justify to the international community their use of nuclear palms in subduing their enemies. 4. Takeover the international. 444 days. Had Carter no longer moist his pants at the same time as a busload of human beings got here alongside in the course of the rescue operation, enable the commanders on the floor run the teach quite of micromanaging it from Washington, and the helicopters hadn't collided in the course of the hasty retreat, per chance we does no longer be dealing with this nonsense now. yet in the adventure that they ought to do a compelled retrieval of the hostages, there should be apermanent and stinging fee to Iran, like no army vessels more effective than a 2-guy existence raft, and doubtless no oilfields left usable. those could have the least collateral harm upon the Iranian civilian inhabitants. This intense seas piracy won't be able to be allowed. it truly is what the "Halls of Montezuma and seashores of Tripoli" is all about. I keep in mind Carter being President, his maximum formidable act became beating a rabbit to lack of life with a canoe paddle, and that i'm efficient he has cried about it on account that.

Yes. The Iranian action was an act of war, and Britain should not hesitate to enforce the return of its people (as well as to collect a large indemnity) using whatever military means are necessary. A complete blockade of the Iranian coast and airspace would probably do the trick. It would also be appropriate to destroy the Iranian navy.

Negotiations should be rapidly exhausted first. But if Iran executes them the US and England should begin the most severe bombing campaign in the history of the world.

I've known a few Royal Marines...trust me.every second they wait to go and get their marines back...is a second that Iran had better thank GOD they have. They will regret taking them hostage when the rest of the Royal Marines come to get their brothers.

I'd just love to see Britain go to war against Iran to see how it'd turn out. Try to use nuclear weapons to see if Iran can retaliate in kind.

If they can (retaliate in kind ,i.e. with nuclear warheads), then we Americans would find out without having to incur any of our own casualties and material losses on our own soil. I will miss London though but after all, we did help save it once from the Nazis, didn't we?

I think Iran is definitely trying to "goat them into a fight"

Why? I think they want international sympathy because the global media has been giving it them for so long. Just like Hezbollah received when it kidnapped the Israeli soldiers, Israel were the bad guys when they fought back. I see the same thing happening again.

sure why not it's just a matter of time before a little group of countries over there end up pissing everybody off and there's another world war or just a bombardment of fights between countries and the middle east. i think we should do like the romans did back in the day and just go in there and take over that whole damn area and colonize
