    According to the BBC Iran is about to release a CD and book about the arrest of the sailors. :confused:

    Do you think Rupert Murdoch will pick up on it? :D

    It shows that Iranians love fame and glory as much as the rest of the world.

    if not more...remember they are pursuing nukes...anything they can do to divert the attention of that gives them more time to get things ready.

    their president is an idiot...they are prone to violent earthquakes...they border Iraq, pakistan, afghanistan, turkey, and the gulf, they have a huge military, they are ruled by islamic law, it has one of the oldest histories in the world, dating back almost 6000 years, formerly known as persia, they are a member of OPEC, Zorastor was considered the first true prophet of the persia area, they were once invaded by the mongolians, average temp is over 100 in the summer, and they usually get 4-14" of rain a year....is that enough for now, or would you like me to keep going?

    Looks like he just owned you pretty good. You asked, he answered and you proved that what you asked didn't matter in the first place, it was just a red herring.

    Nowadays, one key elements of any battle or war is to win over the mind of the people to support you or even to die for your cause. Look at the Gulf War I and II, journalists are not allowed to wander around like they did in Vietnam war where lots of US Army misdeed were reporting frequestly.
