Britian takes detained troop case to UN

So you have no problem with them holding or torturing British or American hostages?
What would you do if you were in charge of Britian or America under these
circumstances?

 

I have no idea where you came up with that one?
I never said that!
Edit: Are you for or against torture of the enemy at any time?

 

The GPS reading supports the British.

 

You mean our prisoners won't be treated badly like before these situations as well such as WWII Germany, Japan and then Vietnam.
One would think from your post that our soldiers were never treated badly in
these wars, lets go ask John McCain?

Then lets not forget Daniel Pearle and the other innocent Americans, civilians
in Iraq that were beheaded.
What did we do to deserve that?
I think that was before Abu Ghrab wasn't it?
Edit:Why does everything bad start and end with George Bush these days anyway?

 

How could you possibly have read what I wrote before and come away with that. Iran is evil. I expect evil governments to do evil things. I will not be shocked if they break the Geneva convention rules. Our country is good and certainly care when we sink to the levels of our enemies.

I already said what I would do. I would play the diplomatic route, then blockade their country if they did not release the hostages in a timely manner. If the sailors are harmed a military response becomes necessity.

 

You are assuming that, That is not what I said?
To be perfectly honest I believe the Geneva convention is about as useless as the UN.
Why?
Because our enemies don't play by the same rules as we do.

I still don't know if you are ok with interrogating the enemy?
Where do you draw the line between interrogating and torture?

 

I didn't really, just asked some questions.

See my reply to Red about Geneva.

Sorry, I must have missed this...
Anyway, Diplomatic way is a good start but it seems to be quite worthless
when dealing with certain countries like Iran.
How can diplomatic action work against the country that wants the elimination of another and says the holocost didn't happen?
Or a country that wants to speed up the end of the world so some spirtial
leader will come back?

What is a timely matter?
Did Jimmy Carter handle the crisis the way you would have done for instance?

 

At what point do the Brits and probably Americans get off our collective asses and go get these guys? OR, start blowing up things in Iran, and explain that it can all stop.

If we hit enough targets, the pressure will be on the lunatic leaders to grow up already. AND we have the side benefit of taking out some of the enemy for fun. The entire operation could be done from Central Command via remote control.
