They were legitimately arrested as spies in or near Iran's waters, as Capt. Air himself admitted in a Sky-News interview on March 13 before they were found out. Iran has been the local and legal power in this region of the world for thousands of years, unlike Britain which has absolutely no business being in Iraqi waters in the first place. I'm as pro-white person as the next Westerner, but Iran was in the right here. Let's try to be rational and put ourselves in the shoes of our "faceless savage enemy" for once. Hurray for peaceful negotiation. As for the sailor's confessions, they were simply admitting the truth, as any honest Christian would do. This also speaks to the decline of the importance of the nation state in our culture: these sailors (and many others) are no longer willing to throw away their lives to satisfy other people's fascistic sense of "national pride".

Thanking him for what? If they were indeed not in waters belonging to Iran they did not have to thank him for anything. We certainly did not come out of this looking very good.
