The Iranians should not release the British sailors and marines who ventured into Iranian waters until the U.S. releases all Iranian diplomats and government workers wrongfully held in Iraq.

To Placidguy, You believe the Iranian regime over the US govt? Go live there and see how much you trust them.... They sit on enough oil to float flood the Middle East but they need nuclear energy for 'Peaceful Purposes'

Still sounds like the blame game. Politics as usual. Just let me win and I will be satisfied.

I think Iran is trying to stir somthing up. Testing just how far they can push before the British and USA get upset. It is like the Big Mouth frog joke.
You do realize the Iranians are abit maladjusted to mess with Britian.

If an Iranian or Iraqi doesn't give a second thought to blowing himself and as many innocet bystanders as possible to Allah, what makes you think they would hesitate to launch a Nuclear weapon if they had one?

Go U.S. and U.K.

The situation is quite simple, we should the Iranians 24 hours to release all the navy personnel and equipment or we go in an take them by using whatever force is required to get the job done.

What have the Iranians held in the US got to do with the British sailors? The UK and the US are two different nations, if the Iranians were searching for some bargaining chips for their guys then they should have gone looking for some Americans who where 'in their waters'.

I had thought that Iran was okay, even that they might be responsible enough to manage nuclear technology, but this event, kidnapping the sailors of a country you aren't at war with, really changed my opinion. Hope you Iranians like your sanctions.

To USA all the way: On the use of nuclear power by energy rich countries. The news is that Canadians want to use nuclear energy to push tar sands from below ground to the surface. Not enough water anymore. Now the ‘nuclear’ is supportive of oil extraction. Also, isn't it amazing that five nuclear weapons country agree to say that the nuclear ambitious are illegitimate while they at the same time are modernizing their armament, in contradiction to commitments under the NPT? Trust you said?

Common senseMar 25th, 2007 - 16:33:21

This is another perfect example of why the world should not trust the irainians. They lie, then lie again, and then lie somemore. I wonder what they are truly hiding. This hostage taking is part of their playbook as seen in the past. The world needs to awake and firmly take insult and action to this diabolical regime.

So now the little tyrant terrorist Hitler want to be Ah'mad'inejad is doing what he only knows best. Capture innocent people and hold them as hostages to get what he wants. How few people know that he was one of the terrorist holding American hostages during the President Carter Administration. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad publicly announces that he believes the Mahdi will return in just a few years and he was placed in office by his god to prepare the way for the second coming of the Mahdi. The mullahs that put Ahmadinejad in office publicly announce the same. Also announcing publicly that the Iranian President Ahmadinejad believes Iran's nuclear program , for weapons , will also speed up the return of the second coming of the Mahdi ( which means the end of this world will come ). As Hitler did , Hitler lied to the public and other countries for the arming purpose of Germany as history proves. So is Ahmadinejad. The Iranian statements for enrichment of uranium for nuclear energy are lies. Ahmadinejad's agenda is to provoke a clash between countries. His faith is that the more enemies (devils) that he kills or are killed by his leadership the better a place in heaven he will have. This means that they are eager for a nuclear war. The mainstream medias do not publish 'all' that Ahmadinejad is publicly announcing. the British troops captured should have turned away from the Iranian's and if a military battle started Ah'mad'inejad would not have more bargaining chips to stop the UN sanctions. By the UK soldiers not resisting just gives Iran more power the ways of a true evil terrorist leadership that it is.

to paraphrase an earlier post,

I think it is time to to say 'Let the spies go free or we're sending other peoples' kids in to do some severe damage to Iranian civilians'.

Isn't that our usual strategy?

The Iranians need to understand the seriousness of the situation.
The only thing they undestand is force.

Hard to TrustMar 25th, 2007 - 16:43:05

It's very hard to trust both the British and US governments. Both have lied to considerable extremes to bring about war in Iraq. Now both govt are lying their butts off over Iran and is using almost the exact same play book: nuclear weapons (ha ha ha ha ha).

In simple truth, Iran is in fact running out of energy. In fact, Iran will stop exporting oil in the next ten years due to two facts: their oil production has in fact peak years ago, and, internal demand continues to rise.

Couple the nuclear lies with the US CIA backed coupe in 1951 to install the Shah, a ruthless dictator. So, who to believe in the end? It's tough to tell. The lies of Bush and Blair promulgate lies elsewhere.

The US and UK both back Israel with incredible weapons of mass destruction right at the doorsteps of Iran. So, who do you believe? Is Iran acting or re-acting? Hmm. Fact speak loud when you become aware of them.

On another front, anyone remember the Gulf Of Tonkin which was fabricated evidence to launch the US into the Vietnam War?

It's good to see some Persian countries stick it to the big liars. End of case.
