Russia wants to do business with Iran, and this is their customer service program. It is a disgrace.

The Soviets have been doing business with Iran since Jimmy gave Iran to the Moooo-la's. Pukeman is a Marxist. He was KGB. He did not change his spots. He simply put on a new coat to hide them while he gained power. He has turned into a dictator. Those wanting the old Soviet empire back have their leader. The Soviets chum up to those old friends who were and are still, enemies of the USA and the west. He supports them with weapons for oil. Nukes for oil.

War will not happen with Iran. THis will go on for weeks perhaps months. THe brits will pay some kind of ransom and then they'll be released. Iran will come out the winner in this and the Brits will come out the losers. The UK will never take real action so the US will never have a chance to back them up.

LOL, look at that idiot's posting history. Little Lord Douchebag starts a fight on every thread, even gets mad about our steak suace compared to Britain's.

A real charmer.

The Brits certainly have access to our four airbases in Iraq and have assets they could fly there from Europe for a hellish strike on the Persian "fleet". Hell, they are the true owners of Diego Garcia, as well.

Hell, I have this fantasy: here are some English fellows working on a Vulcan bomber much like the Confederate Air Force does our earlier planes. How borrowing a working example for old times sake for a strike with a swarm of Tornados?

You're right. Attacking Iran would drive up domestic oil prices, and cripple the flow of oil to China and India, (our manufacturing base). We can't attack Iran, and Iran knows it.

We are in a knife fight with an opponent who is willing, and not afraid to die. We, on the other hand, don't want to be scratched.

Yes, and influence. I think Russia wants to climb back to being a world power by supporting wild-eyed Iran, which does some things that Russia would not dare to do quite yet.

Spain had a military presence in Iraq prior to the Madrid bombing.

"some good sense from the British press..."

Thank you very much! That's certainly a great improvement over what we've been seeing from The Telegraph since Conrad Black left it.

I'm going to post the URL in a thread under more saddening news posted by me earlier.

"Spain had a military presence in Iraq prior to the Madrid bombing."

Ok, a minor correction. I seem to recall further plots for bombings in Spain after Spain left the coalition.

Your name seems fitting.

Is it worthwhile, any longer, to work through the United Nations?

The UN is worst than useless ... in that they create false hope, as in Rwanda and Darfur, and when crunch time comes they fold. The UN oil for food program was rife with corruption ... with Saddam putting millions in his Swiss bank account. Same with the former Palestinian leader Yassar Arafat in his dealings with the UN.

Suggest just ignoring this imbecile. Complain to moderator rather than egging potty-mouth on.
