    Well guys it seems that the word "Go" came after all, but Ahmadinejad was the one who said it when he let the 15 go after his conference. I'm glad for the boys but Ahmadinejad got himself the role of the nice guy, at least for his own people.

    Fingers crossed that they all get home OK. I think we should at least be thankful that this has been resolved - by whatever means - without further bloodshed, misery and loss of life.

    I will cross my fingers too. It's a good thing that both camps kept things in control.

    Posturing, to his own people and to the Arab street. He's so damn good he can afford to be magnanimous, that's the propaganda line.:looroll:

    With the april 6th U.S. air strike rumor and a 48 hour deadline " or else " that Blair issued to Teheran, I think there is a good chance Iran just simply buckled.

    Good news !

    The best possible ending for the hostages, I hope Ahmadinejad won't get much credit with his gangster methods.

    It is rather nice to see this standoff end in a most positive manner.

    And a benefit to us all, gasoline prices will start dropping again (hopefully)

    floyd is out of business Carl like many of the tour riders due to doping. floyd still denies all of it and waits but it has gone far too long. He has not shot on keeping the title and he will soon be forgotten. I think the mideastern chaps need to spend their energies instead of nuclear but by making miles and miles of bike ways

    rip it up and it is far from over

    Hi E, thanks for the update, and damn shame too. I sure enjoyed watching the TdF on TV last year. I heard rumors that Lance Armstrong was thinking of doing another TdF?

    Heh heh, I agree w/ you about what the mideasterners should do. Build instead of kill and destroy.
