Dianavan,

"its not O.K. to grab 15 hostages in a disputed territory?"

Point 1, which you keep ignoring- The IRANIANS gave the position that they captured the British at- which was clearly, ( By the standards of BOTH sides) in Iraqi territory.

Point 2, Correct, it is against international law to grab hostages in this manner, EVEN if they HAD been in Iranian waters.

You persist in making statements that are not supported by the facts of the case.
