Iranian president says he will free seized U.K. sailors today

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17944210/

The wires report now that the Iranians have agreed to release all sailors...

Update: It seems that when Ahmadinejad gave awards to his Iranian Coast Guard for defending their nation and capturing the intruders, he also shocked everyone by announcing that he was pardonning the Brits and was going to allow them to return home.

1. I guess we'll be releasing the Iranian hostages

we captured in Iraq from their embassy soon, although of course, those two things won't be linked, at all, not even a little bit.

2. Amazing what Diplomacy can do. We could learn how to do this

from the Brits - they are very good at it.

I'm afraid Bush would have just refused to do anything at all - and everything would have gone straight to hell in a hand basket.
