The United States should immediately bomb and destroy Iran's oil pipelines, shutting off their supply of money in the process, wrecking their economy if they don't meet our demands. Imagine that! We demand!
These tin-horned dictators seem to forget that the United States has the power to vaporize their countries in about one hour. They need to be physically reminded.

Are you for real, you obviously want world war 3, you mustn't have children that would be eligible for draft in a few years. I just love all this chest pounding.

[gathersnomoss]

I agree, but...when was the last time that we went in and used our force to wage war? Grenada? American guilt will always win the day.

I agree! Action should be taken immediately!! Iran should be told they have just hours to release the Brits or else!

The event horizon includes China.

Do you think the United States government will ever, for any reason, use a nuclear weapon in defense of our country and its people? Just curious.

They do know that. That's why they want nukes. They figure they can do what they want with impunity once they have them - and they might be right.

What has the Brits and the U.S. nervous is that turning this into a military confrontation will quickly lead to the Straits of Hormuz being blockaded by the Iranians.

It would take a coordinated effort of sea and land military actions (clearing the mines and invading the land for a buffer zone of protection) to accomplish this. If you want to include China and Russia on the list, then the international outcry would be "huge". The No Blood for Oil crowd would have its field day, too.

Despite the blather from the Brits, there are no half measures here. It's either let it play out like 2004, or go in all the way.

A naval blockade of all Iranian shipping is the way to go, but we have to be ready for all the shit that will come raining down with it.

[fabian]

the brave freedom loving Iranians need to have their country back. The whackos have already declared war on the US and Britain...so to speak. They have supplied the bombs that have murdered over 170 of our service people. We should wipe out all of their military before they blow up one or more of our cities.
