Gee, Richard, maybe you could be a little more specific. It seems to me that Iran definitely came out of this smelling like a rose while the British had to eat their words.

Perhaps its because I referred to the U.S. backing the Arab-Sunnis in Iran. Gee, Richard, do you think they might be backing the Arab-Sunni insurgency in Iraq, too? You seem to be a big fan of the Sunnis so maybe thats why you think I'm mad.

Hmmm, maybe its because I think Iran has a right to defend its territory against Arab-Sunnis, or Brits or the U.S. or whoever..

You know, if Iraqis had done what the British did, I might have come to a different conclusion being that they're neighbors and all but...unless you can prove to me that the Brits had a U.N. mandate to be skirting the borders of Iraq and Iran in an inflatable, well - lets just say I think they got exactly what they deserved.

They were poking at a hornets nest and they got stung.
