...the real bugger about dying for your country of course is that you dont get a chance to sell your story to a tabloid...
Did Ahmadijian or his goons dress these in nice suits too?

But, we're not at war with Iran.
So how should soldiers killed in Iraq be compared to the time period people were held in Iran?
Note I think the number of British soldiers killed in Iran during the Iran hostage crisis was zero -- though some were killed in Iraq during that time.

Bringing "Iran" into the calculation at all is the distraction. That somehow, soldiers who died in bush's wargasm during *that* period are somehow of greater propaganda value than the other 3300 who died for bush's greed and stupidity.
