I see what you mean. Don't worry, I'm not offended :-) Blair's involvement in this incident (and the manner of his language) suggest to me that the current situation may take longer to resolve. I don't think that the Iranians will be able to extract anything from the British government, but they might keep the equipment again!

Lets hope that the UK and US will be able to look back on such incidents ten years from now living in far more peaceful world!

For what it's worth, I still believe the situation can be resolved by Ahmabuttboy claiming the Iranian ships were a little off course. Equipment malfunction and/or interference. I HOPE it can be resolved after no more than a week of sabre rattling by Iran, but like you I see an equal possibility of this dragging on and on because Nutlesswonderboy is drunk on power thanks to the American congress.

And yes, they may keep the equipment.
