I noticed a line from you in the Election poll thread:
Not living in the UK I am quite out of the loop regarding this, and so have no idea what is going on or what the feeling is in the country about the marines being captured by Iranian forces.
What I have heard, is that Iranian forces captured some British marines "in Iranian waters / on Iranian land" or words to that effect. I have heard that Iran has been blowing their trumpets quite loudly about this, and that the marines have been on (Iranian) telly to "apologize" for trespassing or what ever that may mean. Iow I know next to nothing.
But what would you rather the government had done? Gone in and got them? By force? Diplomatically? What have they been telling you through the media? You understand that I live in Holland and that they don't really give us much about that stuff over here. In fact, Snoop Doggy Dogg sitting on a bicycle in Amsterdam (for all of three seconds before he got into his luxury tour bus) made front page news in certain papers while Brit Marines in Iran were somewhere in the middle of the paper.
