Iran Just Begging For It

OK, it's been about 28 years now that they've been due their comeuppance. Time to smack these pissants down.

Iran: Britain Must Admit Navy Trespassed

Iran's foreign minister said Wednesday that Britain must admit that its 15 sailors and marines entered Iranian waters in order to resolve a standoff over their capture by Iranian authorities.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki's announcement came on a day of escalating tensions, highlighted by an Iranian video of the detained Britons that showed the only woman captive saying her group had "trespassed" in Iranian waters. Britain angrily denounced the video as unacceptable and froze most dealings with the mideast nation.

"First they have to admit that they have made a mistake. Admitting the mistake will facilitate a solution to the problem," Mottaki told The Associated Press in an interview in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. "But unfortunately the British have not admitted their mistake."

So those who didn't make any mistakes have to admit to one? Such cockiness must be answered with swift and decisive action. We're reduced to watching the Brits being paraded on television, and are supposed to do nothing, although it's a violation of the sacrosanct Geneva Conventions?

Some countries are going out of their way to mediate this crisis and we're still being smacked in the face? How about the U.N.? Oh, nevermind. If they can't blame the United States or Israel for this, they just don't care. Hey, maybe we can call Jimmy Carter, worst President ever.

Enough of this nonsense. Time to take them them down hard. The longer we delay the inevitable, the more difficult it will be. We have more than enough evidence they've been instrumental in the Iraq insurgency and have murdered many of our soldiers. What more provocation do we need?
