The kidnapped British soldiers

  1. Indeed! Where's the outrage from the radical left, the media, the pacifists? Far as I'm concerned the Brits are being tortured. If everyone gets to have their own definition of torture, well, it's a two way street. Iran, nay the entire middle-east needs to be taught a lesson. A lesson that has zero regard for collateral damage. Everyone knows it's coming. Why not now? If not now, when? If not this incident, which incident? Take off the rose colored glasses.

  2. The title of this topic is fundamentally flawed. There is no evidence whatsoever supporting the claim that the soldiers were kidnapped. The girl in the group admitted having entered Iranian waters illegally. To me, it all seems like a suspicious incident to incite war on Iran

    The soldiers were either kidnapped in Iraqi waters OR captured in Iranian waters. Currently, as there is no evidence supporting either claim, we have to assume that they were simply captured.

  3. Tens of thousands of these stupid perported Christians who write "In God we Trust" on their currency, kill each other every year through gun violence, bashings, poisonings domestic violence etc.
    When is Iran/North Korea (whoever) gonna do the rest of the world a favor and vaporise the USA?
    Screw the collateral damage turn the place into a car park!

  4. I'd rather see the US turn into a Tchernobyl style Wildlife Reservation than to have us fight another war for foreign interests.

  5. Of course those brits are being subjected to humiliation and mental torture. However, do we have the moral authority to point fingers?

  7. The head scarf is obligatory for all women visiting or living in Iran. One can hardly call it a humiliation.

  8. No, we don't. I was just pointing out the obvious double standard.

  9. Iran is not representing "the Muslim World".
    By the way, it's kind of fun to watch the dance of arrogant Tony Blair and ugly Mahmoud Ahmadinejad....
