SBS fcuked it up big time

Maybe the terrorists/kidnappers will be more inclined to go for Italians rather than Britishers next time. Would save a lot of hassle.

They get money out of the italians

A few of the countries there are working to expand their areas of interest, and income. I also think the current worry with Iran is its ability to destabilise the region. To be honest, if there wasn't oil, we wouldn't be worrying about the region at all. However, there is oil, and there is one very powerful country building up.

The US cannot, and will not let it happen.

Why would the US need to get involved. The Israelis could presumably eat them and anyone else in the region who think there are hard enough for breakfast.

I agree. However, I don't think it would go down well with Americans, or should I say the Jewish American lobby which is still incredibly powerful.

I also think with international support, the other Muslim countries in the regions would be less inclined to side with Iran. However, if the 'zionists' attack alone, then ther Arab league would simply have to draw together, which I believe they'd be loath to do; if it become a Zionists versus Islamic attack, then they would have to stick together which renders the situation 100 times worse, imo.

Don't get me wrong, I think the last thing the yanks want is Israel to strike, but I think they are spoiling to (the Israelis) and the Americans will be fighting hard for them not to, but if they do (and I am convinced they will without Iran doing some serious backpeddling), then I truly believe the Americans will back them.

According to a recent article on the BBC web site, Islamist groups like Hamas put the blame for all the World's troubles, and especially theirs, on Zionists _and_ Freemasons. So you'd better watch out Churchy

We're in it for the long term, thanks for the heads-up though.

The Muslims and Catholics generally don't like us because we don't care what religion people are.

You could say that they're intolerant of tolerance. Oh well.

I always though Hamas was a bit of a daft name for a bunch of people who cant eat a bacon butty. I reckon they should change their terror-name by deed poll to Lambas, or Assas

or something
