Fifteen British Navy personnel have been captured at gunpoint by Iranian forces.

What do you think Iran should do about this issue?

I think they should release them unconditionally.  That would send a message to the rest of the World, saying "we are not that bad and we would like to continue our nuclear program".

What were the conditions of the capture? If the brits were on Iranian territory without permission, an unconditional release is silly.

We are not that bad? Maybe I should break into my neighbors house, steal his tv ,and give it back to him a few days later because I'm not that bad.

The question is were they in Iranian waters.


Iranian hard-liners called for the 15 Britons to be held until Iran wins political concessions from the West.

We cover the Brits SAS troops, while we send in the bombers.
I just assumed you knew what I meant.

It could have been misinterpreted as the US tell the brits to send the SAS.  But Yeah i was just teasing i knew what you meant.

Guess how many countries would nuke the US off the planet if we did the same to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

I heard that it happened in Iraqi waters, not in Iranian waters.

Correct me if I am wrong though.

I guess they are trying to flex their tiny muscles by capturing 15 sailors.    They are going to regret it.

Yeah it says that in this article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6484279.stm

Same article says the same thing happened a few years ago.

"In 2004, Iran detained eight British servicemen for three days after they allegedly strayed over the maritime border.  The UK claimed the men were "forcibly escorted" into Iranian territorial waters.  The men were paraded blindfolded and made to apologise on Iranian TV before their release was agreed. "

i think its a bit naive to expect them to be released unconditionally. ideally, you're correct, and i know that if i was in charge, i'd probably have that at least floating about my head.

on the other hand, things like this happen rarely (unconditional release without a MAJOR threat) and i'd also be looking to benefit.

no, what i'd be doing right now, if i were in charge of the situation, would be a bit of both. i'd be treating the sailors as fantastically as possible. I'd have them in house arrest in the biggest, cushiest building in Iran, i'd treat their every whim, but by no means would i let them leave that building or even communicate with the outside world.
      essentially, i'd do my best to make it known that i want no harm to befall these "noble troops," and that i had no choice but to grab them in order to free my own loyal country men.

That's what they should do.  I'm not saying they are good or bad.  Besides, if they were in Iranian waters, well I don't think this is comparable to stealing.

Release unconditionally. Having given the UK a scare they should release them to show that they have integrity and are not crazy mother fuckers.

Agreed, too much speculation going on right now.
