Firstly I would prefer they hadnt been taken hostage <------

Secondly I hope this turns out well for them and their families.

But.............We (Americans) take hostages and fly them halfway around the world and hold them in a cage with no semblance of a fair trial, or unfair trial for that matter.

We (Americans) think nothing of scooping people right up and whisking them away in the interests of keeping ourselves safe.

Understanding that these are British citizens, but I have to think to myself why other countries (Iran) shouldnt feel free to do the same ?

I can only assume the Iranian govt. considers British and American citizens one in the same.

I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up before this.

I just found out recently that the US does exactly what Nomad says... picks them up, ships them off to other places to have them tortutred. I was horrifeied. I am very upset and concerned about the British captives.

If we are going to continue send our kids into harms way, we need to make it a top priority to NOT just hand them over to anyone who raises their voice.

Better yet, bring the kids home and let these folks settle things amongst themselves..

I agree with the things in red- they are never going to change because of who they are and what they believe!

Just goes to show that 14 out of 14 males won't stop and ask for directions...

They were probably listening to the one woman that is with them. Can anyone say back seat driver.
