Sounds like they were looking for trouble and found it. Bismarck famously said that the Balkans were not worth the bones of one Hessian grenadier. I’d say these two are not worth a stern warning from Hillary Clinton.
Another FReeper who knows members of one family, said that one hiker (Josh Fataal) was in Iraq researching family roots. I think the FReeper said Josh’s grandfather was Iraqi. The 3 were on a hiking trail that is within Iraq, but is watched by Iranian patrols. It is believed that they were abducted and brought over the border into Iran.
I think it’s “Pomeranian grenadier” (at least that’s what you find on the quotes sites), but close enough.
Yeah, in the words of Bill Clinton, we are crazy, until hikers like him find themselves stuck with the thugs. Then right wingers are called for help.
Is there a method to this liberal madness, slave driving us and keeping the leaders at the leash?
Neither is any Muslim country.
I must say I love Iran’s illegal alien policy. I think we should adopt that policy over here in the U.S. under the new administration come 1/20/13!
