2nd question: If Hussein was still in power would it have kept Iran in check?

We aren't going to war over this. Iran will release them. YES, Absolutely - Hussein would have held the region in check. Our invasion of Iraq was a major clusterf**k...we should have released him and he could have held those savages in Iraq together too.

First and foremost, let me just say that i love my country (the good 'ole USA) and i love my freedom to criticize and hate my president as well...now with that said...
First, i don't think Tony Blair has the balls to set a deadline with any consequences for force/war. I see him as Bush's puppet, so Bush would have to give the OK and backing for such an event.
If you remember last year another one of our allies (Israel) was in the same situation when some of their troops were captured by Hezbollah on the Israeli/Lebanon border. Israel bombed the crap out of Hezbollah, many died, country was destroyed, and the whole thing lasted about a month or so. What was the result???? well, to this day i have never heard of those Israeli soldiers being returned.
Again...i LOVE my country. But Iran is the right one here and the good guy here. 90% of the world sees it the same way. And no matter what Bush may try to dish out later...this soldier capturing had nothing, i repeat NOTHING to do with terrorism in any way. Britain or US would have done the same damn thing if Iran's navy crossed into our waters.

Until Bush is gone he will make war with any country he fancies. Last night when I had dinner w/ the Bush family George said "Canada is so close, why not just take em over and have a bigger United States. I think they got lots of oil there too." Laura yelled "Get the pills, the blue ones!" There was a scurry and then George collapsed in his soup. It turned out that someone had mistaken the blue ones (Xanax) with his ED pills. We were up all night.

Well, we better get with the program. By the way the English sailors were in Iraqi waters not Iranian and there were witnesses to that.
The reason we need to get with the program is Iran is already at war with us. It will get kind of one sided at some point if we don't respond in kind.

Apparently, the sailors were outside Iranian waters when captured. But I 'hear'
the sounds of war, don't you??

Don't worry, theres not going to be any new wars soon. The country is sick of wars. Were already stuck with one big costly war. bottom line, if we went to war with Iran, then taxes will SKYROCKET. Iran is more richer than Iraq, and slightly stronger. Most likely they'll be riots

No. But I don't think two aircraft carrier groups is going to be able to single-handedly stop Iran cold.

Bush wants a New World Order. Not to sound dramatic but has there ever been a president who has or has wanted to invade so many country's.
