Kudos to the British for not fucking w/the lives of their 15 servicemen who were detained in Iran

What a relief to see them on their home soil again without any further harm coming out of it or another war.

It's nice to see what can be accomplished by alternative measures other than bullying. We can only imagine what might have happened if it had been up to our Coward in Chief, the man who doesn't hesitate to put someone else's life on the line for his own warped agenda.

1. They could hardly be expected to stand tall.

They aren't The World's Only Superpower, after all.

2. K&R. I completely agree with you, my friend!

That was also my first thought on hearing this news, and feeling relief that this ended as well as it did. And I also wondered what would have happened if these had been U.S. service people, with "Bring 'Em On!" Bush* as commander in chief, who stubbornly refuses to engage in a dialogue with Iran, as he did with Iraq and North Korea, working to avoid a war and keep the peace, saving countless lives...:-(
