Jack Straw has stuck his head above the parapet to distance the UK from the US with regards to the handling of Iran saying the British position is 'one of constructive and conditional engagement with the government of Iran'. He doesn't say anything to rule out military action but things like this suggests he doesn't want another conflict.
Of course, if Dubya, and therefore Tony, decide that all they want for Christmas is two Gulf States remade in the US's image, will Jack Straw resign a la Cook, will he swallow his conscience or will he decide that actually war is a jolly spiffing thing that we don't have enough of these days?
