Iran interrogates British sailors, time for a new war and a cup of tea anyone?
Talk about finding the wrong fight to pick.
Either Tony Blair and his British forces are in collusion with G.W. to get a war with Iran started or Iran is simply playing with fire. Either way, the capture of British forces in Iranian waters is bad news for many in the region. Wars have been started over less.
Separately, Iran's ambassador to Iraq, Hassan Kazemi Qomi, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Baghdad that there was no connection between the seizures of the 15 and any other issues between the West and Iran. He, like Mostafavi, denied any aim for a prisoner swap.
"They entered Iranian territorial waters and were arrested and are undergoing the process of investigation and interrogation. It has nothing to do with other issues," he said.
The United States holds at least five Iranians taken captive in Iraq, claiming they part of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard force that provides funds, weapons and training to Shiite militias in Iraq.
One has to feel very sorry for these captured soldiers knowing the example the U.S. has set towards prisoners' rights and following the Geneva Convention. These guys are going to go through hell, and they all have George Bush and Guantanamo Bay to thank for it.
