British Hostages in Iran

It would appear to me that Iran is doing everything that it can to antagonize the US and it's allies, especially with their latest stunt of illegally seizing British soldiers.

Some have entertained the absurd idea that the UK set their own soldiers up to be taken hostage so that military action might be taken against Iran by the US & it's allies. After all the threats and threatening actions that have come from Iran in recent months, I really don't see how Anyone could possibly fathom such an unsubstantiated idea.

I admire the way that Britain is calmly handling this situation. Hopefully it will all be over quickly and the soldiers will be released due to the cool-headed reactions of Britain.

However, I have to wonder what will be the next stunt pulled by Iran in an attempt to provoke. I have No doubt that there will be another crisis of some kind caused by Iran as they appear to be determined to engage the US and it's allies at every turn. Feeling that this is true, one has to wonder, how much of a threat is the US willing abide before putting an end to said threat. . . .Or maybe the better question would be . . . .What has to happen to make a certain portion of this country willing to put an end to said threat.

You know, I would really be interested to learn under what circumstances would people such as, most Democrats, Rosie O'Donnell & Charlie Sheen be willing to have this country defend itself against terrorism. Seriously . . . .I would love to have some of these people choose a, b, c or fill out the blank in d below.

a) Absolutely No War Or Military Action Ever. Just let the US be overrun by terrorist.
b) Only provide a Show of force in certain situations, but Never, Ever actually Use force.
c) Only when violent terrorist acts touch our own soil . . .Oh Wait . . .It HAS!! . . .9 11
d) I would be willing for the US to go to war or use military action only if ___________ were to happen.

You know, I hate the idea of war and having American soldiers placed in harms way. In only 5 1/2 very short years, I will have a child that will be old enough to enlist in the military. The very thought of it just makes my heart sink and I pray every day that all conflicts will be over very soon, (in a way that assures the safety of America). BUT . . . I have to remember that were it not for our willingness to go to war, and the sacrifices made by so many Americans in the past, none of us would have the freedoms that we so enjoy today. It seems here lately that our Freedom of Speech is not only enjoyed All-Too-Much and used in irresponsible ways . . . .it is taken for granted . . . .as many have forgotten how we came to have this freedom to begin with.
