Is the offensive against Iraq not enough?

This was so true a comparison!
I admire the British for their composure in this situation and the ability to work through diplomatic channels.

I admire them too, Angela. But don't you find it just a bit creepy that this Sanchez was ready attack those Iranian troops? This just adds fuel to the notion out there that this administration is just a bit too heavy handed with some aspects of their "diplomacy."

Oh, absolutely! That was why I was so glad the British leader had the gumption to do the right thing. It is v-e-e-e-r-r-y scary to think how close we might have been to a whole new war
