I think he's also referring to the fishing disputes between UK and Iceland and the Icelandic economic meltdown that has been happening for some time now and the UK is fairly closely involved.

As for what to do, I don't know.

I voted for War. The Royal Navy has had far too little to do for far too long, and I'm sure the imperialist itch has been bothering our cousins across the pond for some time now.

Put on your tricornes and red coats and go smack some sense into those Icelanders. Don't forget to call America, The World's #1 supplier of quality wartime aid. We win the war or you don't pay a dime!*

I think that Iceland should go over and kick England's butt and take over.

Well, Iceland has no military...and it has been almost 100 years since a good old-fashioned war broke out in Europe over entirely trivial matters...I say go for it!

Extra points if you manage to lose the first invasion.

Screw the invassion....WE GOT NUKES!

The invasion looked pretty cool on Letters From Iwo Jima, and that was filmed in iceland. I say invade

I voted for embargo and blockade.

But that could take some time.

say, in a period of 10 months if they are not motivated to repay their debts... well, in the words of General Patton... "You'll know what to do."

Huh? I thought it was filmed near Barstow in the U.S. You know, Hell.

Perhaps you're thinking of Flags of Our Fathers?

No blood for fish-n-chips!

I say you send them Gordy to live among them. He can become their Gub'ner and ruin their economy.
