Hang them high
by Marathon-Man on Mon Jan 23, 2012 12:14 PM PSTThe Molla's HAVE TO be smart enough to realise they cannot afford to challenge these super powers when it comes to thier own business.

Britain has joined the United States and France in sending a flotilla of warships through the sensitive Strait of Hormuz in a pointed message to the Iranian regime.
