This isn't the same as world war two, and while I agree with you that iran needs to be dealt with eventually by force, I'm just saying, it will not happen this friday at very least.

This isn't the same as world war two,

In some repsects it is and is not.

I'm just saying, it will not happen this friday at very least.

That could be but I was replying on the comment in your post #6 that it wouldn't happen while they are being held. You did not specify a date. If your reference of it not happening until Friday is premised on the assumption only negotiation can resolve this matter then in the long run Great Britain will lose even if the soldiers are released without any military action. It will embolden the terrorists to do more of the same or worse. Negotiating with terrorists and will only invite more terrorism. Great Britain should have learned that lesson from Neville Chamberlain's failed negotiations with Hitler.
