This latest in Iran's attempt at provoking the United States into acts of war is just despicable. These hikers, although strange that they would want to hike in Iraq and Syria, just accidentally walked over the boarder into Iran and now they are going to be held in a prison in Iran for trespassing. Now I can tell you that being in prison in Iran is nothing like being in prison in the US. You have no rights, no access to medical help if you need it and you stand a good chance of dying. I hate to think of innocent Americans being put in this situation and what irks me further is the idea that our democratic government will probably try to cut a deal that will take years while these poor souls languish in prison. A depressing thought to say the least.
