"One thing for certain, Iranian 'honour' is not something to take lightly"

If Iranians had the slightest trace of honour they would not allow themselves to be led by a band of religious-lunatic arseholes, in turn led by a scruffy, unkempt, lying, religious-lunatic arsehole, towards a nuclear arms race which they can only lose by.

The commander of HMS Cornwall acted to orders, Dianavan. The British Navy does NOT run about like a band of wild-west cowboys, firing off rounds at anything that moves. They are a highly-trained and disciplined force. His reaction during the incident was governed by standing orders which take into account the politics at play out there at the moment, and by a very high level of training. Your comments suggesting that he somehow failed show how little grasp you have of what really goes on, and how easy it is to be a smart-arse when you're sitting safely and comfortably out of harm's way in British Columbia.
