Tony Blair has warned Iran that life could become "a lot more difficult" if it continued to defy the international community.
Iran has been accused of providing devices to insurgents in Iraq which have been used to attack British soldiers. There is also international concern over its nuclear ambitions.
The Prime Minister warned Tehran it must allow Iraq to develop in the way its people wanted and it must stop supporting terrorism.
Mr. Blair said it must also abide by its nuclear weapons obligations.
He said if it did a different relationship with the western world was possible.
Speaking on Sky News' World News Tonight Mr. Blair said: "Iran has to realize that there is the possibility of having a different relationship with the western world but only on the basis of certain very clear things.
"If they don't do this then I think they should understand it is very difficult for people to have a different relationship with them. And if they continue to do it, they continue to really defy proper rules of behavior in the international community, then life will become a lot more difficult."

LOL, you still dont get it, I have seriously OVERestimated your intellect. Let me slow down a bit for you:
If we need to commit to a ground war in Iran, WHILE we still require troops in Iraq, the decision to go wont be up to us. Get it mate? Or do I need to use a chart?

funny how those that advocate war seem to be the ones less inclined to actually serve or send their own sons and daughters to fight is said war.

I am one of those so-called warhawks who advocates war from time-to-time.
As such, you are refering to whom when you said such?
Served my country, as have others on this board.
Some of us agree with the 2nd Iraq War, some of us do not.
Thats cool and respectful.
But to say such as you have snafu7700, amounts to nothing but anti-war rhetoric, best served elsewhere, like PTS or such.

Looks like England is taking the lead on Iran.

If we recall, England said to America that it doesn't have enough money for another war, and if the US invaded Iran, England would not come.
Sure Blair can make all the fuss he wants, but in the end Iran can give England the finger - and still, nothing would happen.

England can say sod all as it doesn't have a parliament! Maybe England should form an alliance with the secessionists in Vermont?
