Brits in Iran: it's getting tense

The British hostages situation in Iran is starting to turn into a pretty tense situation. As England's closest ally, we should be doing all we can to resolve this situation.

Wait, we don't talk to Iran - we never negotiation with terrorists. Let's just pretend the Iran/Contra Scandal never happened. *Cough Cough*

It's a disgrace that the Iranians put British soldiers on television yesterday. I'm not saying war with Iran should be completely ruled out, but I'm hoping it can be avoided. This reminds me of the American hostages - 52 Americans, held 444 days, from '79-'81.

Anyway, I'll offer this - if the Democrats had not taken control of Congress last November, I firmly believe that this would have been the incident that would have started a war with Iran.

Considering this administration's actions before and during the War in Iraq, who can really put up a strong argument against this line of thinking?
