SIR - The capture by Iranian forces of 15 British soldiers in the Gulf brought predictably shrill headlines in the media.
Imagine if Iran had occupied France, had scores of warships in the Channel, was reported to have commandos operating in the home counties and was pushing for sanctions against Britain - how would the media and the British public react?
