If Iran does not give British troops ever does Britain will go to war with iran?

Probably... this could get to be a very messy situation.EboyLOL

It also means that once I've finished training with the TA, there's more of a chance that I'll have to go to war :|

Territorial Army. Basically you go through basic part-time while you work (during the weekens and week-nights), and they can pull you into Iraq at any time they like.

I might not be officially in, but apparently i stand a good chance. I don't actually do my phyiscal etc. until September 2008, because i wanted to train as an NCO and you have to be over 19 to do so.

Maybe, but they had better not drag the rest of the UN with them.daniel52587

I say yes they will but no they should not.

This is exactly what diplomacy is about. I do not care if anyone says... "bu...but... they will not listen!" Of course they will... no matter how mad nuts someone is, if you offer them something they want, they will listen.

Possibly ending hundreds or thousands of lives just for the lives of a few soldiers is pathetic and this whole deal with doing it for national pride... *GAH*

We are humans... not animals... at least... I thought we were...

Its simply the principles involved. Iran thinks it can kidnapp some troops and it will give them some sort of upper hand, give in to whatever demands they may make and it would encourage them to do it again. You don't reward people when they misbehave, you punish them.Loonie

Actually, rehabilitation works better.

Why punish the Iranian civilians for something the government/military did?

I got that stats at Wekipedia so it has to be right. mohan88

Britain would only go to war with Iran with the backing of at least the USA, Germany, France, Israel and Saudi Arabia. 

In a nutshell, the chances of the UK initiating a war with Iran over this are nnil. unless its a very elaborate election plan by BLair 

It actually doesn't matter how many soldiers both countries have. The US had the firepower and the right number of soldiers to start an invasion on Iraq and well they did a good job, they defeated the Iraqi army in less than, what, a month. But now, unfortunatly, they are losing the war with they trained soldiers and firepower.

Iran vs British If it does happen who wins?mohan88

come on man!  if Britian invaded Iran, Iran would get erased from the map cause i think the US would get involved, and Iran wouldnt stand a chance against Britian and the US, the leaders of Iran may be stupid, but they aren't suicidal.
