British Marines and Sailors Released to UK Embassy in Tehran
According to CBS.com eight British troops including six Sailors and two Marines have been released to British diplomats.
The troops were said to be in good spirits though relatively scared. It was also said that they were well taken care of according to British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.
Apparently the Iranians are just a little smarter than their neighbors in Iraq.
This is one of those situations that could have easily escalated, but thankfully it did not.
It is sad that the world is so hostile, and that nations cannot treat each other with more respect.
As long as there are extremists there will be wars. As long as there is evil, there will be warriors to fight those wars.
I am glad that the Brits were released and hope that the Iranians never feel froggy enough to engage in true combat with the US.
SlagleRock Out!
Thats good news, the sad thing is that their neighborhood has had 1400 years of this type of behaviour, you're right about them being a bit more savvy than their neighbor, they dropped the bone before they got their teeth kicked in.
