Iran Part II

A terrorist state kidnaps 15 Military personnel and we do nothing but use a few harsh words. The lack of action shows how spineless this country has become.Almost 25 years ago to the very day another 'Sabre rattling' nation, Argentina took something from Great Britain that didn't belong to them, The Falkland Islands. Did we stand back and shrug our shoulders? No, we got a task force together, sailed 8000 miles and took back what is ours. Not to mention giving the Argentines and bloody good hiding in the process. Not only did we restore the Falklands to it's righful British sovereignty, but we also put the Great back in Great Britain AND brought down the ruling military dictatorship in Argentina, thus restoring democracy to our former enemy.
We can not and should not tippy toe around aggressive Nations. Let's call this kidnapping for what it is - An Act of War. The Royal Navy should be sailing up and down the Iranian coastline and our warplanes should be agressively flying over Tehran.
It is hard to imagine another leader of this once great nation who would wait 3 days to make a pathetic verbal comment on the situation. But then that's the price we pay for voting in Tony Blair for the last decade - a systematic decay of everything that was once good about this Nation. New Labour has brought Britain to it's knees like an old boxer unable to go that 'final' round.
It's too much to ask that our present leader should have the backbone of the Iron Lady. He is not fit to hold her handbag.
