AP NewsHow DARE the British freeze relations with Iran? Why the nerve of them. And going to the United Nations to complain? Why they're just making a mountain out of a molehill.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran may delay the release of the female British sailor if Britain takes the issue to the U.N. Security Council or freezes relations, the country's top negotiator Ali Larijani said Thursday.
Speaking on Iranian state radio, Larijani said: "British leaders have miscalculated this issue."
If Britain follows through with its policies on the 15 British sailors and marines detained by Iran last week, Larijani said "this case may face a legal path" - a clear reference to Iran's prosecuting the sailors in court.
Earlier Thursday, Britain asked the Security Council to support a call for the immediate release of detainees, saying in a statement they were operating in Iraqi waters under a mandate from the Security Council and at the request of Iraq. The issue was expected to be debated Thursday.
On Wednesday, Britain announced it was freezing relations with Iran.
After all, Iran's been free to kill Americans in Iraq and all they got was a few choice words from President Bush. Who do these Brits think they are?
