#6 good point Z, same reaction from me. Why have we not retaliated? Why is this not on the front page of every leading story? (the second question was rhetorical) Anyways, American servicemen are dead from the sanctioning of a foreign sovereign gov't. This should've been laid out to achnutjob by GWB this morning w/our bombers hitting key iranian mil installations this afternoon.

#7 If the US won't retaliate for 241 Marines murdered, why do you expect anything for 19 dead servicemen? Your comment #3 is even more appropriate for this thread.

Carter froze $8 billion of Iranian gov funds. Though I'm sure there is a lot of left by now.

This does have casus belli written all over it. Too bad we can only dream. Out of curiosity, how many other atrocities committed by Iran have been found by a court of law to be directly attributable to Tehran's mullahs? I'd like to think this wasn't the first, but if it is, we'd surely mustn't avoid the splendid opportunity it represents to retaliate. Blue sky thinking, I know.

#9 Oh, but it wouldn't be politically correct to even speak of an attack this close to Christmas.
Why not join together in the singing of some Christmas carols ? Bailey's anyone ?
