Are you seriously suggesting that Britain's response was anything other than pathetic?Quote from a529612:
"Britain's response to the seizure of its sailors and marines has been branded weak by Republicans in Washington. John Bolton, until recently the US ambassador to the UN, described the Government's incremental approach as "pathetic".

15 british soldiers are kidnapped in broad daylight without firing a shot and now 10 days later all the British government can do is beg the UN for a stronger worded resolution. I honestly doubt the UK had ever before been humilated this badly.
A good lesson for pacifists, muslim sympathizers and other self-righteous idiots though - they'll be the first not the last to be attacked.

Sad, are you kiddn?
Its hard to believe that any american would mind seeing Saddam go down. Do you remember what they tried do in Kuwait? Not to mention, what they did in Iran, and to their own people.
The Saddam regime was going down, it was only a matter of time.

I thought the bombings in the middle of London a few years ago were pretty humiliating. The were all done by brits born and educated in England! Those bombers were all going to mosques which had Imams and muslim clerics who were kicked out of their own respective countries for being to radical. They in turn migrated to and took up residence and citizenship in England.
