Iran VS Britain [Would you back the war?]

[OMGitsaROSS]

If it became serious (like WWII serious) I would definately fight, I would certainly support a war which protects Great Britain from any foreign enemy. However unless it was a war in which bombs were dropping on both sides or they had weapons which could be used against us, I don't think I'd support it.

I would fight regardless of age. I would actually lie (H)

irans nuclear programme isn't as advanced as needed be to make nuclear weapons yet.. also, before going to war, we would most likely stop imports/exports or stop something with to do with their economy.

(heard that on bbc/sky news^)

Having fun in that cave of yours? It's been all over the news that we have GPS and photos to prove we were in Iraq waters.

Well, the Iranians have proof that the UK apologied and said they woulld come to a political negotiation, after Iran told them them came to the with a straight ' NO ' they got this probly fake proof, its not impossible to fake GPS my friends.

And its not impossible to force prisoners of war to lie.

Meh if they did have nuclear weapons that would be one country worth, if
they fired them UK AND USA would fire theres. Meaning two on one. Meaning mass destruction in Iran. Then we all party and say there is peace on earth and we all get drunk and forget about Iraq and they make a secret bomb and kill us all k?

Nice theory, but bombs hurt. Nuclear bombs hurt even more.

Exactly.
In fact, the troops would be jumping at the opportunity to go on tv and read some forced statement. It shows their families back home that they are alive and well. Iran are just doing it for attention and for national pride, they'll get bored soon enough.

But, the reason for war in Iran would be exactly the same as the war in Iraq. We suspect they have WMD. That's it. We have no other basis for war other than this slight hiccup.

I'm going to leave on the note that we all know Area51 exists, we just don't know what they're testing. All the Iranian Nuclear 'Power' plants exist, we just don't know what they're producing.

Even if they have produced Nuclear Warheads, they only have the missile and bomber range to hit our troops in Iraq, not the actual British Isles.

Just let them go, and never talk again... geez

They have become propaganda items. I don't think they have any intention of killing them. But they are getting paraded around on television. It raises some well needed morale in Iran. It's not military, it's politics.

If I was Blair, I Wud Say To The Iranians, If u dont give bak our men, within 24 hours The UK Will Declare War On Iran!

Then, because Iran are a weak country, they'll most likely obey the UK, but if they dont most of the World would back britain and defeat Iran!

Then Iran would be part of the UK Empire! and UK would capture all there oil
