>>OOh 282ra, my my you are upset, Can you not see that i am not defending my countries involvement in the war, but merely pointing out that as a country the U.K has no conflict with the country of Iran.... yes they dont like us, yes my country has a history of colonialism barbarity etc etc, but we are not at war with Iran,<<

Once again, open your damn eyes! Of course, you're at war with them. They wouldn't have taken those sailors hostage if they thought Britain was anyone they could or should trust. Britain is right alongaise America licking its butt so why should Iran trust them?

As for this amazingly specious argument that Britain wasn't in Iranian waters ask yourself how Britain would react if a Syria-Iran coalition invaded Scotland, threatened England and then started massing on the approaches of its territorial waters--even if they weren't in its territorial waters. I do not believe for a second that Britain would be stupid enough to ignore that or shrug and say they're in international waters so there's nothing you anyone can do about it. I don't believe that for a second. Britain would go out and do something to let Syria-Iran no that they are not going to tolerate this aggression and that they should go the fuck home where they belong. Iran may not be a beacon of righteousness and freedom but neither are we. In the end, we're just an aggressor nation threatening and bullying those that have oil under them. To hell with Britain. I can't even bring myself to respect them sinc they were stupid enough to assist this nutcase loon Bush. Just desserts, I call it.
