Hmmm couldnt happen to a nicer Iatolaha LOL

These people never paid retribution from the last two times they took hostages.
NUKE'EM back to the days before Christ, really would anybody miss that little crap hole of a country ?

Discussing politics in a trucking forum is pretty pointless since most are horribly ill-informed.

The morons in this country driving their land barges at 80+ down the highway will sure miss them...

Isn't their another country you would like to defect to comrade fozzy ?

No, it's much more fun to listen to people here whine about the situations they create for themselves to complain about. Especially when I do not suffer from the same created messes that they seem to not be able to figure out. To be honest, if there were a way to make what I make and have a similar job, there are plenty of other places on this earth that would do nicely. I've lived in other countries and can accept the fact that there are other places without a lot of the problems we have here.

You seem like the only one here thats read the news article about it, instead of getting their 'insight' off the caption at the bottom of Fox 'News'. Thanks!
However, theres some issues about the borders in the gulf. Iraq and Iran had a treaty outlining the waters, but Saddam called that treaty void around 1985 and declared a large section Iraqi... so now some waters patrolled by us and Britain are disputed by Iran. What surprise that one day they decide to snag some sailors....

Nuff said.

To be honest, the war should have started that day, when the ship sat there and watched their fellow soldiers be taken without doing anything it escalated things to this point, there should have been some smoking debris of the Iranians floating on the water and then worry about apologies later.

And very few of those have any loyalty at all to the USA.
