I have to challenge you, Great Britain is not at War with Iran,,,,,, there has been no declaration of war on either side...that said, these HOSTAGES that have been taken are Not P.O.W,s.


Yes Iran hates us for many reasons, yes we are in theyre part of the world, yes, if the Iranians military were in the English channel, i would expect them to be picked up and questioned,,,,,,, but i wouldnt expect them to be paraded around like trophies, i would expect them to be released within 24 hours,,,, western military personell in Berlin were routinely picked up when in East Berlin or too near to the wall, and questioned by the East german authorities, they were never held longer than 24 hours, there are procedures in these circumstances that should be followed, I am sorry,but Iran is in the Wrong.

My argument isnt about how Britain came to be there, how prisoners are treated in Guantanimo, Abhu Grahib etc, or even what happened under the British Empire, its straight down the line.......they should not still be incarcerated by the Iranians..... The Iranians are showing themselves up for what they are 2nd rate military, run by 3rd rate government. Its nothing personal, if they were Dutch soldiers i would have the same argument.
