You are part of the problem.

Pointing fingers doesn't get them/us out.

Do you remember 1979 in Tehran?

The solution is to get these people out.

Problem is that you are in a war zone and I am sure anything connected with the American or British government is closed down there right now.

You would think, OK send helicopters and ships, but they would be going to an unsecured area where there are terrorists with Iranian supplied stuff that could knock a helicopter in flight down or sink any number of ships they want to that come into rescue.

Outside of Jews going to Israel, I can't believe since we started in Afghanistan that any American would go to the Middle East.

You had to know it was risky?

I can't believe 25.000 are there unless they are mostly related by blood to citizens of Lebanon.

I would expect helicopters and ships will be too dangerous and the US military can't go in without it looking like an invasion.

I wouldn't know where to begin, the way I see it someone will have to try and march everyone out of there or something.

American government coming in looks like an invasion, all transportation going in for evacuation would be targeted for missiles by terrorist.

I think they will send people to march you folks out in the near future, but to where I don't know. I can't think of one secure way to move people out shy of invasion by the USA which won't happen.

I had a friend in Tehran during the hostage taking- he worked for a private company and the company he worked for got him and their other employees out. He told me the companies the Americans that he knew worked for got them out- not the US Gov't.

I do think the US government should do whatever it can to get you and other US citizens out; but what about your employer? What is your employer doing right now to help you get out? Working in a foreign country is always dangerous- did you and/or your company have a plan in place? The truth is the US Government can't protect all US citizens all over the world. I do agree they should try, but when I travel I don't count on the gov't to be able to help me if things go wrong. I would hope they could but not expect it.

I will pray for your safety.
