Committing the sin of posting to the thread title without reading all the thread - I'll be back! 1) Bully for the Brits for not turning it into a shooting war 2) Taking military people who are engaged in their duties in foreign territory isn't kidnapping, even if they weren't on your soil - 3) Seems everybody knew that particular territory was "disputed" so I hope nobody's surprised that all of the parties to the dispute claim it as theirs 4) (well, 1.5 really) hope they all come home safely.
