You're Top Poster: #2  | Sounds like an invitation for the SAS to practice hostage rescue. Why not just ask UK authorities to detain the person in question?

You're Top Poster: #10 | So, presumably they wouldn't have a problem with us, or anyone else, kidnapping American citizens who were wanted for a crime. Especially if the law permitting that also dated back to the 1860's.  Both our laws and Iran's laws are a lot older than the 1860's.  |

You're Top Poster: #3 | The right or not, they would do it however we have to know the result for tit for tat. What's good for the goose is good for the gander etc.

Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
