British Sailors Kidnapped by Iran

15 British sailors looking for contraband, kidnapped by Iran.
Iran claims they were in Iranian waters, but the Brits say
otherwise.

Who's telling the truth ?

The Iranians couldn't tell the truth if their lives depended on it. Already they have tortured the prisoners into confessing anything they want. They're not even trying to make it look like the prisoners words anymore they're openly dictating statements for the prisoners to read.

Needless to say , I don't much believe the Iranians.

Plus, the Iranian President is more concearned with his holy book than with the real world, or he wouldn't be trying to make nukes.

The British Problem is simple.
These people were kidnapped in Iraqi waters.

If you permit this , if you actually bow down to the kidnappers or give in to any demands, tommorow they'll kidnap someone else.

The philipino people found this out when , after much outcry , their government finally relented and paid the ransom on a single kidnapped truck driver. The very next day , guess what ? another truck driver got kidnapped ! Wow, what an amazing thing !

The really big problems the Brits face , however, is that the Iranian President is a religious fanatic who's been siding with the Muslim Iman's and removing any non religous people from the government. People who look to god (any god, not pointing any fingers here) generally seem to be of the opinon that God will protect them and they can do anything they want without consequences.

Rather like that true believer who stepped into the lion's den because he believed god would protect him. Only to find out god loves the lions too, and once in a while throws them a snack, thanks for volinteering.

With a religous fanatic in office in Iran , the odds of a peaceful solution are zippo. He's gonna try and use those hostages to get himself some nukes and toss a few either at Israel or the US or both. (You have to use up your nukes if you're a little power , by the way. They tend to decay over time and become useless very quuickly ... so if you're only ever gonna get a bit of uranium and then never again , you can't threaten with it ,you have to use it before it's gone)

I totally agree. The British should pull their troops out of Iraq.
And send them all to Iran.
