Your crude and dishonest accusation notwithstanding, I was criticizing your government and a pair of incompetent commanders who lacked the respectability of most soldiers. One of them—a homosexual—even flamed effeminately and publicly at one of our commanders after leaving duty.

But let’s discuss the topic at hand. Why is your government getting so close with the Iranian government again? The Iranian military forces and their nuclear facilities should be bombed out of existence. The Iranian regime is not an ally.

Firstly, please name this gay, flaming British commander. I’d also remind you of the shameful attack by an American commander on the British commander Tim Collins (he of the great speech pre-invasion that even Bush 43 wanted a copy of) which almost cost a true hero and modern British army legeand his career.

Secondly, as Churchill said, jaw jaw is better than war war. Lets not have a war if we can help it. Perhaps we think dialogue is better than gung ho heroics. Remember that the Iranian PM studied at Glasgow Uni, and knows the UK. It would be stupid not to open dialogue with a nation that’s at least willing to talk. This is real life, not a John Wayne film. The British move is not weakness, its clever. The option for war/military strikes is always there. But lets see what we can get without the need for conflict.
