Normally, if the facts weren't so clear-cut, I'd agree to having discussions to find a middle ground. But when almost every source points to the UK sailors being in the proper location (All the Brittish gov't GPS coordinates, the coordinates given by the Indian freighter, and the first set of coordinates given by Iran) except for the REVISED coordinated given by the Iranian government, this paints a very clear case. This is about as cut-and-dry as you can get, and the only thing Tehran's trying to do is to get the British gov't to admit they're wrong to springboard a new propaganda machine. Iran's probably just realized that they've gone in over their heads right now, and I think that's why they're playing the politics they are...

 

This is very true...

 

Yes it is. Now please stop leghumping Iran.

 

tark, seriosly what more can they discuss? the UK released photos, gps coordinates that show where their troops where.

Iran says those are incorrect and say here is where they really were.

not a whole lot you can discuss past that.

for starters, the region in debate is a very loose line anyways...there is no 100% defined border line and noone ever really knows where the line is when they are there. So each side can be positive they are right and noone will ever know.

the only thing to do here is release the troops then figure out a way to make the border more defined so as not to have to worry about conflicting border lines in the future. nothing is to be gained from keeping the troops imprisoned and arguing this. why not figure out how to keep these arguments from happening again.

 

I agree with you 100%. but i am pretty sure that if Iran just releases the soldier the british wont sit and finish this dicussion....

 

Nothing says "discussion over" like 100 cruise missiles flying into Iran.

 

honestly can you blame them? all logic points to them being right

i agree something needs to be done, not about this particular case, but about the border issues in general. but it never will because again iran refuses to understand the simple concept of comprimise

with them its their way or fuck u all

 

And then when they keep holding the prisoners or start killing them, the talks will shift to what bombs and where.

 

You can't allow kidnappings and what's almost an act of war to be justified barganing technicques.

 

Werd. I'm sure that even IF, IF the Brits were in Iranian waters, the Iranians didn't give them any kind of warning or a chance to leave...they just captured them.
