British forces personnel and the Iran episode.

I haven't stopped laughing at the cojones shown by the Iranian regime to take hostage 15 sailors and marines from the Shatt al Arab waterway and detain them for 15 days.
Many in the developing world will also laugh and rejoice at the humiliation of a nation which, had a great navy used to conquer and humiliate millions around the globe, whose personnel didn't put up a fight when confronted by Iranian navy personnel.

The detainnes were treated well, they weren't renditioned to Gitmo on secret CIA flights with the complicity of a foreign government; they weren't humiliated by putting sacks (Gikunia) on their faces and forcibly wearing orange suits; they weren't held in the Iranian equivalent of Belmarsh for an indefinite period without trial.

All in all, it was a master stroke ny the Iranians. They have humiliated an imperialist force, which i must admit is wonderful news to me. The British have to realise they are no longer a world power. Thank you Iran for humiliating the johnnies, i'm glad they weren't harmed in any way. The same couldn't be said for Britain's humiliation of developing countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa.
