How will seizing British marines affect Iran's reception at the U.N. tomorrow?It's just like a rerun of an old movie. I can hear it now: "I'm shocked, shocked that Iran is breaking U.N. Resolutions and laws." But nothing will really happen... the United Nations will just "round up the usual suspects" and be sure they make their dinner reservations at Elaine's by 7.
-Bob, St.Croix, Virgin IslandsAs if they were going to get a good reception anyway? It will definitely put more heat on their delegation tomorrow, but I believe a negative reception has been in the books for months.

The capture of the 15 Brits will create a lot of sturm and drang at the U.N. tomorrow, but I doubt that much will get done. When did the U.N. stop a war, feed a country, cure a disease, or find a permanent home for refugees?
-Kristen, Springfield, OregonThis is obviously an act of war. The Iranians are testing the guts of the world, just as Hitler did when he marched troops into the demilitarized Rhineland. They need to be stopped.

Were there really British soldiers seized by Iran? I don't even know who to believe anymore.

Is now the time for the U.S. to shut down the prison at Guantanamo Bay?It is overdue. Holding people without legal representation is wrong. Unfortunately, when we do release these people we have created mortal enemies that would love to harm us, even if they were not enemies before.
-Carol, Coulterville, CaliforniaYes it should be shut down. It has not followed any U.S. or international laws since it opened, and should be closed.
-Lynn, Dayton, NevadaClub Gitmo should stay open. The sleazebags that are kept there have it made in the shade. However, if it must be closed, perhaps some group of liberal Democrats would like to stand guard over these slimeballs themselves. Just make sure they get fed on time and are not the least bit inconvenienced.
-Bob, Long Island, New YorkClosing Gitmo is a slippery slope. What's next? Restoring the Bill of Rights for the rest of us?
-Dave, Milwaukee, WisconsinWhat's your biggest beef about the Internal Revenue Service?
Why is filing an IRS return so complicated a person has to employ a CPA? Without employing a CPA I would not be able to do the long form.

I have no problem with the IRS. They are always an easy target and are often disliked simply because they collect our taxes. They're not in the position of a politician who will promise to lower, or give us no new, taxes. They just collect.
-Dave, Tacoma, WashingtonThe IRS should make it a priority to allow all taxpayers to file income tax returns electronically and not have to pay commercial firms to do so. It has to be a more efficient method for the IRS, and a lot easier, and cheaper, for the taxpayer.
-Dick, Anacortes, Washington My beef is not with them but with the liars and cheats that steal the money they collect.
