Sailors held by Iran

[j4bberw0ck]

I am more inclined to think the whole thing was an all round Cock-up rather than any carefully staged Conspiracy by any of those concerned.

Hansen's Razor: "Never attribute to conspiracy that which can be adequately explained by stupidity"

In contrast to the shameful displays by the sailors "arrested" by the Iranians - and the more than shameful aftermath - is this article written by an American war reporter in Iraq.

If you can't be bothered to read the whole thing (and believe me, you damn well should be bothered), at least read the last few lines. Brilliant. He has nothing but admiration for the job they're doing and the way they're doing it. And how good to hear it coming from an American reporter.

The following film clip should be shown around the world -- repeatedly!

The woman in the film clip is Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychologist
from Los Angeles. Her powerful and amazing statement was aired on Al
Jazeera television. She one sharp lady who takes names and kicks butt.
You might want to watch this ASAP because it's hard to know how long the
link will be active.

If we had a few more like her in this world, it would be a better place

The clip has been seen round the world repeatedly and if the link suddenly disapears don't panic it has been on Youtube and Google Video for over a year and I don't think it is going anywhere.

It is good that the Muslims have a dissident voice who will stand up and speak out against some of the bigoted lunacy in their religion, I wish her luck her job will not be an easy one but she might change the way a few people in the Middle East think which would be a good thing.

I hope there will not be those in the West who use her words as propaganda to promote their own brand of bigoted lunacy.

Oh dear, dear! I thought she said she was neither a Muslim, a Christian or a Jew. To claim she is a dissident voice of the Muslims is nothing more than Cultural Stereotyping.

She is from the Muslim world that is all that matters.

If change is to come to the Middle East that change must come from within not at the point of an American or Israeli gun.

I hear she suffers all sorts of insult, ridicule and abuse from the more bigoted in the Muslim world.
