It is intersting that our US and British friends - led by the ever erratic and irrational pair of Bush and Blair -had been made to eat humble pie over the captured sailors. It is true that in any situation where soldiers are captured, or hostages taken as the west wants us to believe, no matter how strong you may be, the notion of a qui pro quo to sort out the matter becomes an automatic norm! Despite the noises on the contrary, the world can draw its own conclusion that the Bush-Blair bandwagon sounded like Alfred Tennyson's "charge of the light brigade! They were "full of sound and fury but signifying nothing." This had been made evident by the the parting shot on the bow of the Bush-Blair bandwagon when eight other members of the so-called international force in Iraq perished in a highly sophisticated road-side bomb and an helicopter was also brought down. That was their present and Iran was just saying to them - try your dirty tricks we will get back at you anytime, anywhere! What is distressing is that the rational people of the west including are silent! Are they impotent when innocent lives are lost at that rate!
