I wonder if this could turn into a Return to Paradise scenario where the woman has to choose whether to put herself in harm's way to help her companions.

It is that scenario I think. Her two male companions will pay more than they already will if she doesn't return.

She should not go. It is a staged political propaganda coup designed to ridule the hilariousness and weakness of the Westerners anyway; you also do not hand over hostages voluntarily to hostage-takers.

Let's kidnap an Iranian ship or airplane and take the crew and passangers hostage, then exchange their two hostages against our 20 or 200.

I mean the game the Iranians play is a game that can be played by two, right?

Yeah, let's make regular Iranians suffer by committing an act of terrorism. That'll show em.

I think somebody in Iran's government went first with thinking: yeah, let'S make regular Americans suffer by committing an act of terrorism. That'll show them.

Sometimes I am a great fan of giving the change in the currency the other has chosen. Currently, 2 regular Americans are suffering. And 30 years ago, it were 53 - for 444 days.

Plus the hijacking of British commandos on the gulf some years ago.

Could it be a pattern I see there? Established becasue everytime they get away with it?

If you get away with it, than the method you have chosen is successful. I hate our enemies being successful. I want to see them failing.

BTW, a woman with Dutch passport who was arrested during the revolt, has been hanged some days ago for staged accusation over drug crimes. So much for the trustworthiness of the Iranian legal system. Stoning women for hilarious charges, and hanging opposition members for demonstrating not mentioned.

It's not terrorism. She didn't have a visa, so she was simply trespassing on Iranian territory. The Iranians are not really being nice, but as far as I'm concerned they are in their right. She committed a criminal act (crossing the border without visa), now she just has to face the consequences.

Ah, it is being legal then, because their law says so. Well, by their laws the m,urdering of that Dutch women some days ago also was "legal", then. So was the torturing and killing of the Nazis - they did it becaseu they were authorised by laws.

When your laws are arbitrarily designed and used, like in Iran, and when government and RG interfere with justikce system, and the state has a known history of hijacking hostages and absuing them for propaganda - then this is what makes it state terrorism indeed.
