Iran
There's been lots of criticism of the British government for not taking a harder line with the Iranians over the captured Royal Navy crew, even up to the point where some have argued we should be bombing Iranian ports in response. That Gerard Baker - yes, that's right, Gerard Baker - disagrees should give them some reason to rethink. He compares it with the Falklands, and says there is no comparison.The international indicident that seems more relevant in my mind is the one that happened in 2001 when a US spy plane was forced to land in China. There the US government seems to have taken a pretty similar line to that which the British government is taking now.
