I think the thread originator is being badly misunderstood. I notice that this person's English seems to suffer quite a lot when they are under stress. I think, under the circumstances, this person ought to be given a hell of a lot of slack. Their country is being destroyed (or at least, that's how it looks to the people of that country). None of the rest of us is facing the kind of dire situation that the people of Iceland are facing.

People use word 'war' euphemistically all the time. It's pretty obvious to me that that was how it was used here in this thread, as well as a bit of biting irony. I notice that the people of the UK are not always very good at recognizing irony, themselves, claims to the contrary notwithstanding. One can wage wars that are not military in nature. One can wage economic wars as well. And I think from the perspective of the people of Iceland, it sure feels like the UK is waging a kind of economic war against them. And a war of rhetoric.

And I didn't get the impression that the thread originator said that the government of the UK threatened to bomb the embassy. It looked to me like what was said is that civilians were threatening to bomb the embassy. Civilians make bomb threats all the time, so I don't see anything implausible about the claim that threats were made about bombing the embassy. And considering the inflammatory nature of the rhetoric coming from people like Brown, it wouldn't surprise me at all to find that some civilians were angry enough to make such threats.

I think the person who started this thread deserves a lot more charity and kindness than they are receiving from a lot of the people in this thread, a lot more understanding for the situation they find themself in (as well as a lot more benefit of the doubt where the possibility of misunderstanding exists).
