General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
What a subject to get the hackles raised!!! What suprises me is that we're all so ready to give our opinions on what we would have done. We have no idea what we'd have done/should have done, because we weren't in that situation!! Just like the crew didn't suspect they'd be faced with that situation either.
JJ, from reading your comments,you come across as very biased on your opinions. The information you receive from the news is somewhat distorted because us mere public viewers are not allowed to know the full details. Don't you ever question the fact that our country, it's government and it's military can make mistakes too but you're not allowed to know? I can't believe that you 'generalize' on all Iranians being the bad guy! That's basically saying that whatever bad thing happens in the UK, we're all the same right?? Also, remind yourself that whatever information has been fed to us via the media, at least we're given a little of 'both sides' to the story and we believe it - right? Well, people such as Iranians are fed information that is one sided that basically condemns us via their media - why shouldn't they believe that too? This situation needs to be rationalized and I'm sure, just like before, it will be, and our people will be sent back home. Let's not keep focusing on the negatives, and the has beens.
