First the good news: the 15 British sailors and marines (including one female) captured by Iran recently are going to be freed.

Now the bad news:

• The world has taken its eyes off Iran’s developing nuclear capacity
• Ahmadinejad used this entire incident, including the release of the sailors and marines, for propaganda purposes (including a photo-op of him shaking hands with the hostages)
• As reported by Glenn Beck on his radio show this morning, the world is ignoring two particularly horrific recent incidents in Iran (you’ll have to download the MP3 files to hear more about them, but one involved mutilating the tongue of someone who criticized the government, the other involved a female protestor getting sodomized with a baseball bat, resulting in her death days later)

Well, at least the 15 hostages have been released.
