A very well done to the United States of America for showing the world the "balls" they still have

As for the British attitude, well all I can say is in the days of Maggie Thatcher (yes, I know a lot of you will shout something obscene now!!) there was the London Iranian Embassy Siege when she sent in the SAS!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/5/newsid_2510000/2510873.stm

The world was ecstatic how the British had achieved such a feat.  The British were proud, and the last thing on Maggie's mind was the human rights of the gunmen!!

Now look at us the laughing stock of the terrorist world, knowing we care more about the human rights of the criminal than we do for the innocent public and the victims!!  

How bloody stupid and embarrassing!  

now i know you might find this hard to believe but the guys that stormed the iranian embassy were in fact reprimanded for it for causing damage to the curtains etc when they lobbed the grenade in , i know this for a fact as ive met the guy that lobbed it in, he did say his superiors basically said "tut tut" dont do it again even though the government of the time expected heads to roll for the damaged decor unbelievable but true

Oh yes, I know you are right and the UK Government had to pay damages

But, the difference between then and now is of course a PM would give the go-ahead for a full assault, but in 2009........."let's see are we going to hurt the terrorists? We must ensure their human rights.  Should we even use weapons?" !!

id like to know what the somali authorities are doing about this piracy situation, or perhaps they dont care as its westerners that are getting targeted,they are quick enough to hold their hands out when they need charity though aint they

There are  effectively no authorities in Somalia,the country hasnt really got a government,it is in chaos.
