No More Mr. Nice Guy... Oh Wait, Nevermind

No, no, no! This is all wrong! Mahmoud! You're not supposed to just let them go! Don't you know anything about how to be a crazy ruler of a country in the axis-of-evil? Would Kim-Jong have just given up those sailors? You don't just capture some random British sailors for nothing. Let's review.
  • March 23rd - 15 British sailors are doing a routine patrol on the HMS Cornwall, a name so British, only the British could come up with it. The Iranians seize them, claiming they were in Iranian waters.
  • Hilarity ensues.
  • The whole world says they were in Iraqi waters and smart people agree.
  • Iran responds, "Ummm, no."
  • Iran takes some tapes of the prisoners and maybe violates the Geneva conventions. Nothing new here.
  • The whole world gets a little more pissed off.
  • Iran nukes London.
  • Or not. They just give them back with a box of Peeps as an Easter present.
  • Lame.
So all in all a disappointing crisis.
