An all out war with Iran?<br><br>2) Why did the captives go out of their way to suck up the Iranians?<br><br>You think that they wanted to do so? All their appearances on Iranian TV were planned by the Iranian authorities. What would you do if you thought that you might well die? I'm sure you would do absolutely anything to please.<br><br>3) Why did these same captives get lucrative media deals back in Britain, while heroes with far more interesting stories get shut out?<br><br>It is a cruel world we live in but it is the media and the consumer who decide what is interesting. I do not believe they should have been allowed to profit from their capture but many would argue that if Generals and Politicians are permitted to do so, then why not the ordinary soldier.<br><br>Just my two cents.<br><br>NiallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
