I would like to ask, seriously, if the result would have been any different had the sailors been American. We have never seen American Marines or other forces conduct themselves so shamelessly while in captivity...then to make matters even more terribly comical to take advantage of their shame so instantly once they had kissed enough ass to get out. This isn't to say that we won't ever see it but so far not yet.

We have seen the American government act shamelessly though when faced with those thugs. Witness the 83 Marine Barracks bombing where instead of making Iran pay, we tucked our ass between our legs and scooted out of Lebanon.

On the other hand just recently American and Iranian forces clashed when they tried to kidnap American Fighting forces...the Iranians died. Reminds my of that F/A-18's nose Art after 9/11 "Hijack This!".

Let me help you out with that Pierre. For the record, the Beirut barracks bombing took place in October '83, and our Marines were still in Lebanon in early '84, that ain't 'scooting out of Lebanon' pal. Reagan did eventually order the evacuation of Marines in Beirut to Navy ships anchored offshore, but that was in consultation with our allies who were also attempting to stabilize that region.

However, if you want to demonstrate your technique of tucking your ass between your legs, that would be almost worth paying a cover charge for, usually it's just the tail that gets tucked in back there, lol
