Iran has a bigger population than Iraq, way more land area, much harsher terrain (if you can believe that), a bigger and much better organized military.

If we couldn't beat Iraq when we were at full strength, we are NOT going to beat Iran with a miltary this exhausted. And Iran knows it all too well. Britain won't make war on Iran because Britain apparently can't do anything without the US to hold its little hand and the US is not going to go to war with Iran because it can't.

Finally, Ahmadinejad was democratically elected and we cannot topple him and maintain the facade that we give a shit about spreading democracy in the Middle East.

Britain has no choice--apologize, get your people back and LEAVE! Go! Get out while the getting's good! Stop supporting US imperialism--we're crazy, we're nuts! Stay away from us, it's the best thing Britain can do for itself. For god's sake--LEAVE!!!!
