The BBC were reporting that the US Navy's sailing a carrier battle group through the Straits today. Accompanied by a UK Frigate and AN other warship- I forget whose.

More Willy waving.

Also that the West will no longer buy Irans' oil -seems we were buying 20% of it. We'd prefer it if other Countries would stop buying it too.

I've no quarrel with the Iranians.
Shy old Fruit,

I don't believe in this context anyone has a quarrel with Iran, apart from Israel, who have been directly threatened. So are you suggesting that we all sit back and wait and see what develops? Without any attempt on anyone's part, apart from Israel, to do anything about it.

If that was to happen, where do you thnk it would end, and would you be one those breathing fire over the "Condems" or whatever, for not doing anything before matters got out of hand?
