Oh, BTW....

Do you remember a few months ago that 5 Iranian government officials were arrested (captured) by our troops in Iraq? If you remember, at the time Iraqi government officials said the Iranians were ok and had been invited to be in Iraq. Well, I just read last night that those 5 Iranians are still in US custody.

Do you suppose that Iran considers that issue just as serious as the 15 British sailors? This is kind of like the crap that Israel pulls.....they capture and hold over a thousand Palestineans in prisons without ever charging them with crimes or putting them on trial, yet when the Palestineans capture 2 Israeli solders, all hell breaks loose.

I know everyone wants there to be a double standard here, but there is simply not one. What is good for one side is good for both sides. If we are going to capture others and hold them, then we can expect other countries to do the same. As we are a world power, our example is followed. This "do as I say, not as I do" attitude is not well received at all.
