Iran - Press takes Irans side.

I have been following this Iran/British Soldier thing over the weekend, and i have to say it is really bothering me.

EVERY article I read this weekend and taking Iran's story that the british soldiers were in Iranian waters. Followed by something to the effect that Brit denies that..

Question?  Shouldn't it read that our Allies the Brits were in Iraqi waters and the Iran claims that they were in Iranian waters. Why are the Iranians seens as the ones likely telling the truth, and the Brits aren't? When did Iran become the honest nation?

The only thing more disturbing than this is how the media COMPLETELY ignored the obvious.  Iran is claiming that after interrogation, the admitted to being in Iranian waters.  Where are the human rights groups? Where are all the people that protested about the US techniques for interrogation? Is anyone going to looking into any torture that took place. Highly unlikely.  The press, the politicians, the Cindy Sheehans, and all the hippies asking the same questions they ask about our troops.  Come on Washington Post, ask the serious questions.

Lame.

Like I said Friday... It is politically incorrect to make a monster out of Iran. The west sits back and lets Iran do whatever they want. When Iran crosses any serious boundaries like they did in the late 1970's when they stormed the US embassy in Tehran, then we are shocked and try to be diplomatic with them. We set sanctions against them. They kept the US captives in the embassy for over a year until Reagan was elected president and let the world know that he would not put up with them.
Iran is doing this again because they understand that the election year in the US started a year early and that if Bush did anything about this the Dems would be all over it calling the GOP a bunch of war mongers, stirring up the anti-war protestors and spinning the idea of diplomacy can diffuse any international quarrel.
