    Sinking of the Belgrano, killing surrendering soldiers was a low point... and "execute every last one of them" in the Iranian hostage crisis was another... and Pinochet... apartheid... polltax... miners strike... the list is too long to feel anything other than repulsion for the woman... oops I forgot Ireland.

    • Belgrano was surrendering was it? Where do you fools pull this shit from?detritus
    • I actually agree that the Belgrano should have been sunk. It was a war and a threat to British lives.qTime
    • As for the Iranian hostage crisis, this is how you deal with people who hold British lives hostage. This has more to do with the SAS.qTime
    • totally, qT - the 200 mile exclusion zone was a guide for the rest of the int'l community - not a get-out clausedetritus
    • for the argentinian military to take advantage of. It was war - they declared it, fuck them.detritus
    • it was retreating and was sunk - fact. read any account of it.
      I think you will find most of the hostages in the iranian embassy were not british      fadein11
    • embassy were not britishfadein11
    • if by retreating you mean 'moving away', then yes - but don't conflate the meanings in the war context.detritus
    • moving away from a battle = retreating = no longer a threat. read the geneva conventionfadein11
    • it was actually zig zagging in and out. It was a ship that they wanted to use to kill British lives.qTime
