The Chinese business newspaper The Standard floats a balloon that makes sense of Iran's actions in taking the British marines hostage. The U.S. did the same thing to Iran. We raided an Iranian diplomatic facility and captured Iranian diplomats, none of whom have been released.
Now the pair of kidnappings are being linked in the Chinese press. It seems that obtaining the release of the British hostages relies on the release of the Iranian ones being held by the U.S.
Tony Blair has been an avid supporter of the foreign policies of this misguided U.S. administration. Let's see if George Bush will do the same for him.
Econo-Girl has always maintained that the Iranians are neither stupid nor crazy. This "exchange of hostages" idea seems to bear that out.

Jasmine,
Very interesting point of view on that article. What it does not take into account is the loss of faith and confidence that the U.S. public has had with President Bush.
I started this blog as a reaction to the very poor business coverage that was getting published here in the U.S. at the time. Especially CNN Money, whose financial and economic coverage is pathetic. Tired of sending them hate mail, I decided to publish my own ideas. That's why the tag line says that.
I said before that Bush made the world more dangerous place for foreign operatives by raiding that consulate.
Sometimes it sucks to be right.
Good think that Iran still believes in the Geneva Convention huh?
