I think this move was a really underhanded approach by Iran to make the US and UK lose face on the international stage. I dont even know what to say except that Im pretty mad about what happened. I also think its messed up that they are making the girl wear the head wrap, just goes to show that theres no freedom in Iran. :angry:

Iran just screwed the pooch on this one. They were already pushing the wrong buttons, but this may have been over the line for them.

In my opinion, Iran is seeing how far they can push the envelope. They pushed it with their Uranium enrichment, now they are pushing it more. They probably are thinking that both the U.S. and British won't start another war since they are both deeply involved in Iraq. Time will tell.

Either way...Iran has shown the world community that they are a threat.

I agree that Iran is simply trying to see what they can get away with.

Personally, I like Tehran's justification for the videos. As they tell it, the videos are just to let the world know the soldiers are still alive. If they happen to seem like Iran gloating, that is purely by accident.

Objectively though, you cannot blame the Iranians. They more or less got away with far worse in the 70s. Terrorism works out pretty well for them. Maybe, it really is the rest of the world who is to blame, if only for letting them get away with this type of thing.
Keep it local.

Now that is something to think about, why should it fall on just the US to do everything, the rest of the world isn't helping at all. If any country thinks that Iran wont go after them eventually and try to turn the whole world into an Islamist theocracy, they are stupidly mistaken... :angry:

Make no mistake, when I said "the rest of the world", I was including the US. We have let the Iranians get away with a great deal over the years. Our record on opposing Iran is not quite as bad as pre-Churchill England opposing the Germans, but we come worryingly close.

Keep it local.
