Ahmadinejad: US Hikers Must Be Punished

Iran's President: American Hikers Need To Be Punished
Saturday, 19 September 2009

hikers-must-punished.html

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (file photo)Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the three American hikers imprisoned in Iran broke the law by crossing the Iranian border and need to be punished.

In an interview in Tehran with NBC, a U.S.television network, Mr. Ahmadinejad said he sympathizes with the families of the three hikers.

But he said he would only consider releasing the hikers if Iranians held in U.S. prisons are also freed.

It was not exactly clear which Iranians he was referring to. Five Iranian officials detained for more than two years at a U.S. prison in Iraq were released two months ago as part of a U.S.-Iraq security deal.

I'm still confused. Is it your position that if the situations were reversed, and three "innocent" Iranian hikers just happened to wander into the U.S. without any papers or any credible reason for being here, that we should simply let them be on their way, because there's almost no chance they're up to anything nefarious?

Or is that a standard you're applying to Iran, but not to anyone else?

Enlighten me, if you please.

Hell, the Americans held five Iranian diplomats contrary to international conventions, contrary to the wishes of the host country in which they were grabbed and held in ( Iraq )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_raid_on_the_Iranian_Liaison_Office_in_
Arbil



they were held for over 2 years for doing their jobs with the consent of the country they were in

no trespassing, no illegal border crossing, etc


Mind you, I think it is still safer to cross the Iran / Iraq border than it would be to cross the US / Mexico border

http://www.eastcountymagazine.org/0809borderangels

Before construction of the border wall began in 1994 as part of Operation Gatekeeper, one or two people died each month attempting to cross into the U.S. To date, only about 100 miles of the proposed 2,000 border wall have been built.

" Since construction began, Morones estimates, the death rate has climbed 15- to 30-fold. Two immigrants each day are now dying, he said—a total of 10,000 nationwide since construction of the wall began, more than three times as many deaths than occurred in the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

“They are forced to cross in harsher areas,” he said of the ill-fated immigrants. “It’s inhumane. The U.S. preaches human rights.” "

I wonder. If you believe that the Iranians are so peaceful and evolved, and the American government is so evil, shouldn't the civilized, peace loving, Iranians release those liberal-loving American Hikers? I mean, some of those Americans that were captured went to UC Brekeley, the American opposition to the government, for Liberalism's sake.
