I have another topic in mind for today, which I may get to later. But I think it is much more relevant to delve into some current events that are happening around the world. Yesterday, the British Navy personal came home after 13 days of imprisonment. I was surprised and relieved they made it home at all. I was certain we would never see this people again.
Today the BBC has reported on the conditions the personal experienced. They speak of being kept in isolation in stone cells, being told that their fellow crew mates had been sent home, blindfolded, lined up against a wall and hearing weapons being cocked, and be threatened with up to seven years in Iran's prisons. I am sure Iran will be denying all this shortly, just as they deny the holocausts. I think it is pretty clear that I side with British side of the story.
Now, why were the crew members released. I am sure there were some back room deals going on. But this also blew up in Iran's face. Its pretty apparent that the world wasn't standing for it and was putting all the pressure on Iran to release the personal.
But why did Iran do this?
The whole capture and release seems pretty pointless.
It is clear the Iran is funneling money and weapons into Iraq. So was this a ploy to try and have Brittan remove troops from Iraq?
I think it will be interesting to see what happens next time Iran's Navy rolls up on another ship...
