There's no question that incidents have occurred before, but the context has changed.

Sure there had been tens of thousands protesting in the streets before Ahmadinejad was selected to enforce discipline. But he's not where he was in 2004 with the mullahs.

And he's been denied a modus operandus to achieve his ends.

It's plausible that this is something bigger. He may well expect the West to give in and you may very well be right.

But it's not a repetition if the foundation changes.

We just don't know the reasons why the Iranians seized the crew. I am sure the UK is learning why through their diplomatic contacts with the Iranians. Once we know their demands, we can decide on how we want to proceed.

I read this last night and it only made things more confusing for me. If the Iranians want to avoid sanctions why kidnap the Britts,it leaves you wondering what the hell they actually want and it looks like a response from us.
There was one argument broached at the strata link that inferred that they were running out of suicide bombers and if we attacked in any manner it might get them more volunteers but what convoluted logic,confusing at best.

I thinkMNJ has the best solution, you can' ignore an action like that.
