Still watching Iran

An interesting money quote on the British sailors and Royal Marines being held in Iran:
A Web site run by Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Expediency Council and a former Revolutionary Guard commander, quoted an unidentified lawmaker as saying, “If Iranian diplomats in Iraq have no security, there’s no reason why we should forgive and turn a blind eye to aggressors into Iranian territories.”

No reason? I beg to differ.

The UK has gotten a lot less aggressive since its empire grew up and moved away, but it still seems unwise to cheese them off this way. Especially when they're already stationed in the Persian Gulf.
