#1 We should wait for them to stray into Iraqi waters and put their troops through a similar ordeal. The ensuing outcry from the Arab world would be deafening. Animals. Time to up the anti in that part of the Shatt al-Arab - get the SBS patrolling regularly.

#2 Howard. How's the mood in the UK? Are they blaming that evil dumb cowboy and his poodle or are they angry at the mullahs?

#3 The only thing that seemingly matters at the moment in the UK is the football/soccer!
I don't think the Iranians have to do very much to get the collective British 'back up' -(Iranian Embassy siege etc.) The press seems to be focussing upon the machinations of the regime - who will get the upper hand? What their purpose is when relations between the two countries have been at their strongest for some time? No criticism of our role in the war that I've seen. Personally praying that our boys come home safe.

#4 That outcome we're all praying for is most likely if this does not degenerate into some sort of finger pointing exercise. Sounds like it hasn't.

#5 Howard is right. Wayne Rooney is the only thing on (English, at least) minds now...

#8 :)

JAB: I haven't heard people blaming anyone except the Iranians themselves. People are aware of the incident, I think they just believe it's all a bit of nonsense and/or posturing that'll be resolved peacefully in a few days.
