Subject: RE: BS: Sailors kidnapped by Revolutionary Guard
Those who think the British started this crisis should think for a first time. Iran was playing to the crowd--the UN vote. Fifteen people mean nothing to them. Pawns. In this case, they have bit off more than they are prepared to chew. They will lose the political dimension of this. True, their 'brothers' in the Mid East will look to them with admiration for tugging the tail of the British. But the international community sees this group in Iran for what it is. And what it is ain't nice.
