I just want to say that Iran made the right choice letting us go, I just hope it stays this way . I dont know if its a stunt to make us think that letting them build there Nuc stations will be for power only , Only time will tell.

Rumour has it that the S.A.S were mobilised to go in on Friday. Ironically the President of Iran is freeing the seamen on Thursday. He didn't want to take the risk, what with his nuclear programme at an advanced stage. The President wants peace with the Western world? I doubt it. Although I hope I wrong. If Iran develops a nuclear arsenal I dread to think what will happen in the next 5 years.

Yes, it is good no one got hurt. Bushie must be disappointed that he can't bomb Iran now (well, he might anyway..He's completely mad)
The "Un-Civilized" Syrians and Iranians negotiate and release the British who may or may not have been tresppasing in Iranian waters (Bush and Blair also lie through their teeth), and the "Civilzed" Americans did nothing except threaten, and in fact "would have engaged the Iranians" in a gun fight.
Welcome to Bizarro World!!

Iran kidnapped the sailors, alleging they violated iran's territorial sovereignty. UK got pi$$ed.
But iran let sailors go, so everyone should just calm down and forget the seizure and the alleged violation, and not ttake violent revenge for perceived slights, and now everyone should live peacefully and use diplomacy to solve problems, right?
Is - um - is anyone telling this to hamas and hezzbollah? Because if anyone should learn THIS lesson - it's THEM!

I am skeptical - it appears to me that Iran has used this whole, well planned scenario for public relations and world opinion boosting.
The captives were but pawns in this plan.
I say this because the news of their release has effectively buried the fact that the Iranians initiated this crisis in the first place.

this was the only result there was ever gonna be mountains were made out of mole hills and everyone got sucked in , if we admitted we were in there waters a week ago they would have been released a week ago . as i said then these people were flexing what muscle they have not much and sending a message to say dont go in there waters .

I am glad too. Maybe President Bush will see that sometimes diplomacy works better than rushing into a Sovereign country like a bull in a China shop.

Iran did let the Britons go, but I doubt whether Iran's enrichment of uranium is strictly for peaceful purposes.

Various news media reported....
Fifteen British sailors taken at gunpoint Friday by Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Al Quds soldiers were captured intentionally and are to be used as bargaining chips to be used for the release of five Iranians who were arrested at the Iranian consul in Irbil, Iraq by US troops, an Iranian official told the daily paper Asharq al-Awsat on Saturday.
In addition, a senior Iranian military official said Saturday that the decision to capture the soldiers was made during a March 18 emergency meeting of the High Council for Security following a report by the Al-Quds contingent commander, Kassem Suleimani, to the Iranian chief of the armed forces, Maj.Gen. Hassan Firouz Abadi. In the report, according to Asharq al-Awsat, Suleimani warned Abadi that Al Quds and Revolutionary Guards' operations had become transparent to US and British intelligence following the arrest of a senior Al Quds officer and four of his deputies in Irbil.
The first sign of a possible campaign against high-ranking Iranian officers emerged earlier this month with the discovery that Ali Reza Asgari, former commander of the Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force in Lebanon and deputy defence minister, had vanished, apparently during a trip to Istanbul.
Asgari’s disappearance shocked the Iranian regime as he is believed to possess some of its most closely guarded secrets. The Quds Force is responsible for operations outside Iran.
Last week it was revealed that Colonel Amir Muhammed Shirazi, another high-ranking Revolutionary Guard officer, had disappeared, probably in Iraq.
A third Iranian general is also understood to be missing — the head of the Revolutionary Guard in the Persian Gulf. Sources named him as Brigadier General Muhammed Soltani.
On the occasion of the end of the No Ruz (New Year) holiday (Sezdah bedar), in commemoration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (Mawlid an-Nabi), Easter and Passover, Iran's President Ahmadinejad has announced that he would pardon all 15 hostages as a "gift" to the British people and would release them as a "humanitarian gesture".

He criticized Britain for deploying Leading Seaman Faye Turney, one of the 15 detainees, in the Gulf, pointing out that she is a woman with a child.
