Should the UK apologize to get the soldiers free.

Wait... all Iran wants is an apology!?

MY ****ING GOD!

Swallow your pride you selfish bastards and give it to them! Risking the lives of 15 humans for national pride... what a world we live in...

If I punched you in the face and asked you to apologize for my punching you in the face, what would be your response, out of curiosity?yermomsboxx

And as far as the question of making an insincere apology to recover troops goes, you are not looking at the big picture. Right now, Iran is trying to guage both the US and her allies' response to these acts of war. Folding in this instance would set a precedent for them to do something on a larger scale the next time. Bad idea.

I thought the Royal Navy is a mightiest navy in the world. The Brits should of defended themselves from those Revolutionary Guards.

Britian is weak!

Like this?

UK: Iran, we're so sorry :cry:

Iran: Okay, friends? 

Like that'll happen.. 

Iran is just trying to be difficult. Like an annoying younger sibling who wants attention.

I say we stand strong and demand their release, hell maybe we'll be able to dish out more UN sanctions too. I ran needs to be taught a lesson, they're becoming a pain in our asses (or arses in this case :D) and we need to stop chickening out. Iraq was never the enemy, Iran was. Dictators may oppress their people but governments who are influenced by theological extremism (or any extremism for that matter) are the ones that cause the most trouble.

yea it's more like me kidnapping your cousin because he was cutting through my yard.  Sure tresspassing is a crime, but you don't counter it by kidnapping (a more serious crime).

Some people would apologize, but those types of people don't get leadership roles, people who take action get leadership roles.

Only took a few lines for the first anti Britain comment, faster than usual, its good to know you have so called allies...........

But no we shouldnt apologize, for what? They werent in their waters, Iran is talking crap, and you really think Britain is scared of Iran? No.

You're stupid and hardly deserves attention...too bad I'm bored...

You're ignorant beyond comparission too.....The brits where on a tiny boat and the Iranians surrounded them with ships.....

It's funny how you think that american marines would have defended themselves......they would have done the same thing...

and by the way, this has nothing to do with the strength of a nation.....there were just 15 people on that boat...

now please don't ever write on this board again....good bye

I sure think so, if that is all Iran wants, then appologize. Even if you don't mean it, just do it. It is better than risking war, which the UK can't afford, but Iran can. ManofKnowledge

if what the media says is true, and 99% of the time, it's not, then the U.K should not apologize for anything. We should bomb the hell out of Iran and be done with the whole situation. That's what we should of done with Iraq, and maybe we could have saved like 3,300 troops' lives.Trippinskott

They did not violate Iranian borders, the GPS co-ordinates have been released and the original co-ordinates Iran gave shown them to be in Iraqi waters, they changed them 2 days later. Why should an apology made when there was no offense commited? Iran should be the ones apologising for kidnapping soldiers without due cause.Loonie

Lets offer them a trade: We can give them Tony Blair for the hostages. Then we can send Jack Bauer in to free Tony Blair.videogamer456

I Disagree, the blame will lie with Iran for kidnapping British soldiers for no reason and holding guns to their heads :| Mercury88

There is going to be a war in the Middle East, one much worse than the one in Iraq and one for greater reasons than modern day Imperialism... it is avoidable, and if proper planning and action is taken, the best consequences of actions can be found and applied.
