The next move would be the storming of the UK embassy. That could really show how impotent us decadent westerners are. On the other hand it would also give the UK reason to escalate and bring in the US, and possibly NATO. It won't necessarily get the servicemen back but there are more important considerations in the long run that the lives of 15 soldiers.

They might understand the "Kaiser Soze" like move of britan sending a cruise missile to blow up the building they are in. Force and ruthlessness are the only things understood by these cretins. Of course blaming it on the Iranians would be the proper thing to do.

After that, soften up the military with some airstrikes from the american fleet.

A ground invasion by Iran into Iraq is a joke.

Sometimes I really believe you uk people have lost the ruthlessness needed to deal with crazies with your destruction as their goal. You spend too much time thinking about looking bad.

Personally, I've found it is much more effective being feared than loved when dealing with psychopaths. Joe
