Hypothetical questions:-

How would we feel about a boat load of foreign army personel floating 0.5 miles from our coast?

Would we act any different if Iran was populated with Christians / Catholics ?

It just seems like sometimes we're the oppressors in all this - also the common people of these countries dont want any trouble, it seems to be a select few in goverment.

Remember bombs cost money - and if i recall, Maggie Thatcher was brokering arms deals to Saddam for him to use on Iran in the first place
