As expected end to the non-crisis.

Sailors released followed the quiet release of 3 iranian diplomats held by the USA in Iraq (which is probably what triggered the crisis in the first place).

About time they were released and all. Glad it was able to be done through non-violent means too.

It's usually not my habit to feed the trolls, but....

Did you notice you called it a "non-crisis" AND a "crisis" in, what, two lines of text? Nice job on that.

Also, Had their been any other outcome to this event, I believe you, as a supporter of Iran against America, would have begun to really, really understand exactly what the word "Crisis" means. You should be as thankful as I am that the Iranian government made the smart call here.

Have a nice day.

You lot have had it way to easy for ages. It time you lot pull your peacenecks heads out of the sand and live in the real world.

Well, that doesn't tell me much. If theres one thing i've learned around here it's that one mans hawk is another mans dove.

Not important, no worries.
