Is Britan going to start the Iran war for GW?
I admit this is one I didn't see coming. I figured Israel or our own "Tonkin" event. Discuss amongst yourselves I'm going outside to dig a shelter.

1. Nah, Blair doesn't have the support
And did you see that map where they moved the "border" so far east it was ridiculous?

2. Well the way I think it might happen is that they don't "start it", per se, but....
...the U.S. decides to tag along in the crisis and start shit using that as an excuse.

3. The Brits won't allow it
I can almost guarantee that.
They will hang Tony from the Bell Tower because they know that if he wasn't Bush's lapdog, this wouldn't be happening.

6. I think this has more to do with the UN sanctions proposals.
The US and UK want much stiffer sanctions -- that can form the basis for a more 'legitimate' attack.

As it stands, this incident isn't enough, in itself, to form a casus belli that anyone else will accept.

7. Sean the mouth said
today (yeah, I was getting talking points in the car)
"America needs to come to the aid of our greatest ally, Britain"

Did the Brits bail or not on *'s WAR?

I do not think this was an act of WAR by Iran, they have proof that the Brits were over a mile into Iran territory...if anything, it is an act of WAR by the UK.

10. From the looks of it, Iran will start it
By stupidly, and apparently purposely, handing the hawks all the PR they want.
