The seizure of the sailors and marines by Iran is not tantamount to a declaration of war, and war is not a proper response at this time.

With all due respect, Neo, if the seizure of a nation’s military forces and holding them hostage, in blatant violation of the Geneva Conventions, does not constitute a casus belli, then what does?

Britain needs to get its act together, and fast. Every day spent dithering over this sends one message to the Iranian mullahs, as you have so eloquently described. But it sends another message entirely to British troops: if you’re captured, we won’t come to get you.

Britain needs to keep the faith with her troops, if she hopes to have anyone willing to fight for her at all.

And so do we.

respectfully,
Daniel in Brookline

You seem worried about what position I hold, though…..

Israel won’t need to be “goaded” into bombing Iran when the time comes. If Israel feels the need to bomb them, they will bomb them. Even if it’s not in “our” interest. Besides, most of the time you(TC) are bitching that we’re the ones being manipulated by “the Israeli Lobby”. So, which nazi conspiracy are we supposed to believe: “we’re being duped by the ‘joooos’!”, or “Israel is a “puppet” in our imperial designs.? I wish you nazis could stick to ONE consistent lie, TC.

They have two years to understand their error and not repeat it. And these two years hardly would be calm enough to support this dandgerous illusion. The natural course of events leads to more bloody confrontations, not otherwise. Very soon Iran nuclear crisis will explode, and causa belli became to clear to deny.

We answered that question last November. The voters chose defeat. Right now we’re in a race to see if we can dhimmify ourselves before the new caliphate can do it by force.

The war is over. We lost. All we can do now is watch humanity descend into barbarism.

See Stolen Valor, Burkett for the unreliability of this “data”.

From declaring Iran part of an “axis of evil” to our constantly threatening to bomb them and goading Israel to do the same we certainly have taken the rhetorical bluster to lofty heights.

On a side note – read this today and found it quite astonishing – apparently 1 in 3 homeless men in the U.S is a veteran.
