Sigh...

I'm pleased that the Iranians have seen fit to release the 15 British sailors and marines without conditions.

I do believe the London did acknowledge in a letter that the border in the waterway was "in dispute" and it would endeavor to stay further away from its whereabouts in the future.

The Iranian president did request that the British not punish the sailors and marines for their "confessions." I do wonder if the 15 will be tortured, tried, and sentenced to by hung for "disgracing" the British Crown or whatever, but it's more likely that they'll be admonished and released to their eagerly awaiting families and friends.

I doubt if any of the parties involved in the negoitiations surveyed the wise (and not so wise) words in this thread but I feel better having this forum for discussion of unworldly events.
