If Maggie Thatcher was the British PM, they'd have never done it. Blair needs to remind these clymers what happened in the Falkland Islands and suggest they reconsider the seizure.
What are you talking about?
I don't like the news, but Blair has as much to do with this as Bush does, which is nothing. Venezuela is not now, and has never been (so far as I am aware) British territory. When the Argentines made their move on The Falklands, the people on those islands had been using stamps with little pictures of the Queen on all their mail and paying for them with pounds (which also have pictures of the Queen on them), and before that they had other pictures of British monarchs. They are British territory, and the people who live there are (happily) British subjects. They were invaded by a foreign army.

"... remind these clymers what happened in the Falkland Islands and suggest they reconsider the seizure."
That's what I was thinking.
You don't mess with the SAS. They shoot first and ask questions later.
