THREE CAL BERKELEY GRADS DETAINED IN IRAN
All the education in the world in my opinion does not stop people from doing stupid stuff. Shane Bauer, Sara Shourd and Josh Fatal set out on a journey to visit Iraq. They were hiking in the mountains of Northern Iraq and crossed the border into Iran, they say by mistake.
First of all what in the world, would anybody in their right mind want to visit a country that is at war. The three are supposed to be educated, apparently not educated enough to know that Americans are not welcome in the Middle East. Stupid idea on their part! Now they are in poor health and are thinking about go on a hungry strike. What’s that going to prove!
I my opinion their just going to make their loved ones more worried. I think the three of them are acting selfish.
I don’t blame Iran for detaining the three, because if the tables were turned the United States would do the same. This should be a lesson to all the other educated fools, that if you are thinking about going to another country, let a alone one that is at war. Stop don’t do it is it really worth your life.

It may have been a stupid act to go hiking along the Iranian boarder. But I hope the American hikers are released. This is 2010.
ReplyDeleteWe must evolve. If Iran is just using innocent people as pawns. They are missing the point.
It makes them look like idiots. We all live on the same fragile planet. Holding hostages just show the world there in the stone age in thinking.
