Kuwait was invaded because it was perceived the west would not intervene
The Falklands were invaded because Argentina thought Britain would not fight back
Poland was invaded because Germany thought the world would not fight.

I don't think that's very fair being honest. You shouldn't slag someone off that way for a spelling error. Their opinion counts as much as anyone elses, and it's not that big a deal.


I am a gobshite - I apologise to Vegas for the spelling slur, but I still disagree strongly with his politics, which make me shudder.

I am intrigued that you think my politics are extreme. I am of the opinion that you can only talk to people from a position of strength. Would you advocate disarming and hope that everyone are as nice as you.

sorry you didn't really answer my questions ...

anyway, sky news has come forward with a report conducted before the arrest ...

The captain in charge of the 15 marines detained in Iran has said they were gathering intelligence on the Iranians.

I don't know if it is just me, but while I was following the story on the captured sailors I did not get the impression they were forced to smile or had been held in isolation. I actually thought they genuinly didn't seem all that fused about being held captive as they weren't too worried about their safety. After their release however we hear about their ordeal. It sounds a bit unrealistic after the events over the last few day - at least to me! I am interested what other people think about this.
