Pelosi diplomacy?
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Wednesday freed the 15 detained British sailors and marines in what President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called an Easter gift to the British people. Prime Minister Tony Blair said he bore "no ill will" toward the Iranian people.Iranian state television said the 14 men and one woman, who were seized while on patrol in the northern Persian gulf on March 23, would leave Iran on Thursday. An Iranian official in London said they would be handed over to British diplomats in Tehran.
The people making this happen behind the scenes were the Syrians. Guess who is defying the Bush Administration and visiting the Syrians? Nancy Pelosi. Hmmmm...I wonder if the two things are related to one another? Couldn't be, because all the radical right's saber rattling has been so effective....I'm sure it's worked once somewhere right? Sure makes you wonder if while the Republicans are trying to cause global conflicts for their corporate puppet masters if America might not be better off with some real leadership? And maybe respecting other people's culture instead of attacking it, might just yield positive results from time to time? One just has to wonder.
