The U.S. started the Iran-British incident
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,263480,00.html

I posted a link to the actual article from the Independent a couple of days back, but nobody noticed/cared. This is from FOX news, of all places (and even they link to the Independent article).

I think many DUers need to stop trying to take a moral high ground. Iran did what was in its best interests, nothing more, nothing less. It got some good PR out of it, to boot. I ask, once again, what you would do if you were Iran. I don't believe they even had any other choice, considering the amassing U.S. forces just outside of their borders.

If the Canadian government was lining up its forces on the U.S. border after having illegitimately invaded Mexico, and some stray Canadian boat entered U.S. waters, what would you do?

1. I did see that but don't know if it was from your post.
I thought "Doesn't surprise me one bit". Cheney and Chimp are SO-o-o-o-o- mad. No war now, peace, peace, peace. When we bash Iran like that we are no better than the self-rightous GOP hate-spewing idiots.

3. Yes. I read it. It was a good find. But what are Fox doing reporting on
it now? They must be trying to give the impression now that their News isn't a cartoon series, like the Simpsons.
