Kidnapping foreign sailors would sound like a pretty hostile act from a friendly and benevolent nation, wouldn't it?
You mean the "sailors" (that's actually funny) that are parked on Iran's doorstep?
I would have a lot more sympathy, if Iran had an armada parked off of the coast of the UK, and had taken these "sailors"... unfortunately, that isn't the case.
As far as this being a "hostile" act... the US did the same thing a few months ago... where is all the outcry? Oh ya... that's right... they were "meddling" in Iraqi affairs
For all intensive purposes... this war has already started... just like in Iraq, when Halliburton was already setting up camp well before the "shock and awe" campaign even started. Many reputable journalists (Seymor Hersh) have already reported on covert operations already taking place inside of Iran to create instability... mark "targets", etc.
