I said, "I think its pretty obvious that the U.S./Britain have been itching for a battle with Iran and have created an incident by overstepping their boundaries in an area that has been disputed for decades. Nothing else really makes sense"

That is based on what I have seen and heard so far. It doesn't mean I support Iran. In fact, I don't support either side. I support the people who suffer as a result of the conflict. It is harldly a firm conclusion.

As to the apology; after succeeding in kidnapping the Brits, you don't really think the Iranians would give them back for nothing do you? The ball is in the Iranian court. If the Brits want them back(regardless of who is right or wrong) the Brits will have to admit that they were in Iranian waters. Thats the way I see it.

As to what the fisherman said, I choose to believe the original, unfiltered version as reported by the Iraqi military commander.
