harlequino actually just explained my thoughts pretty well. And I was agreeing with the points dobs brings up on the war, the abuse of prisoners, etc and so on.
It would be great to get into specifics on all this, but I don't know where to start.........

I wonder what those British Marines where doing out in those waters... do you think they were sightseeing, or fishing??? I mean, they obviously where just hanging out minding their own business when they got taken by Iran, right? They probably didn't have any guns, or radios, or cameras, or spy shit, they probably just had a cooler with some beer and sodas so maybe the problem was that they just forgot to take off their military uniforms, I think that's why Iran got the wrong impression. It's obviously a total misunderstanding...

I think they should write back

Theres a rumor that this may be direct reprisal for the Israeli abduction of a revolutionary guard general.

didn't 5 iranian agents get detained by the Us in Iraq, i aint seen them on tv
but then again, Iran hasn't changed the rules of engagement 'to kill'
Iraq - cradle of civilisation? more like shit hole of civilisation

Exactly.
Imagine the outrage if these soldiers went through half of the shit that the people (many of them innocent) did at Abu Ghraib. The double-standard is astounding.
What if Ahmadenijad said that the Geneva Conventions were "quaint" like Alberto Gonzales did?
This isn't a partisan battle, it really truly is just about human decency.

I hear what dobs is saying. He isn't trying to argue, just playing devil's advocate and pointing out that ultimately no one has been right in how detainees or prisoners have been dealt with in the past several years. Well really, in all of time you could say, but from an American's perspective, I thnk you could use 9/11 as benchmark time-wise. For this country, we have entered a different era since then, at least in how all of this is repoted on and how it's entered the overall conciousness.
Point is, IMHO, major global douchery is afoot.

What exactly do you agree with Kirshar? Again just curious. I'm not looking for fights, just am trying to understand all of this in an enlightened way.

The point is double standards are happening all over the place. Just think about it. No need to fight. Not sure why this is taboo to discuss.

1) War was never officially declared on Iraq.
2) Thousands of innocent women and children were locked up, totured etc. and then set free when no charges were brought against them.
3) America and Britain illegally invaded Iraq.
4) The American governemnt has changed their story countless times on why we are even in Iraq.
5) America held THOUSANDS of innocent Iraqis in prisons inside and out of Iraq. Secret prisons in East Asia, Syria etc.
6) I could go on forever but I don't have the time.
7) You're comparing Apples to Oranges.

America and Bitain illegally invaded Iraq, what is the difference?
- k0na_an0k0
No. It would not be cool.
1) Britain is not at war with Iran.
2) The British soldiers were in Iraqi waters, boarding a merchant ship.
3) Iran illegally seized the British soldiers at gunpoint.
4) Iran changes their story twice to make them in the right.
5) Iran now holds 15 innocent British soldiers who have committed no crimes against Iran.
6) I could go on forever but I don't have the time.
7) You're comparing Apples to Oranges.
8) I agree with the guys who posted after you did. They are correct.
9) Bye Bye.

It is a valid point.

No, you are looking for a retorte.
People here are discussing the issues and your here to make a personal point and belittle a certain person's prior opinion.
- mrdobolina0
Just curious, not sure why it needs to be a fight.
The chickens have come home to roost.
