Flowings of Your Everlasting Taffyman

people been making such a big deal out of this iran hostage situation that it was really nice to see the little headline britain sailors return home. not so much because i thought they were being harmed, in fact i was pretty sure that they were being treated quite well -as it seems to be very in line with iran's current administration to do these large shows of agression and back them up with very respectable efforts... sort of like the whole nuclear thing, whether iran is seeking weapons or not, i think it would be in their best interest to show the world in the end that they were simply providing energy to their people... a little "in your face world" and when iran treats their prisoners better than we do, it shows the world they arent that inhumane... so when i heard the sailors were drinking champaign and what not on the plane ride home, and looked like they had been on vacation during the 2 week "crisis" it sort of made me glad the whole "scandal" was over... everyone is happy... and iran looks better for not being an asshole....
i thought, it must be nice that the sailors get to see their families (probably 6 months before they were supposed to return home)
i returned this afternoon and read the next headline which said 4 british soldiers killed in iraq... and thought, how horrible it must be for their families... to know that while these other soldiers are returned unharmed to the relief of the world, their own children, husbands and wives are being killed in a terrible war and no one cares... their own family members wont return home ever, they must be thinking about all the things they would rather have happened... they must be crying their eyes out wishing their own sons and daughters had been held hostage.
