    Sure, Iran is well renowned as a great place for welcoming
    British tourists...

    Iran; the Costa del Sol of the Middle-East!

    Exactly! What were they thinking?

    Unless they actually were working for MI6 of course...

    This is the truth!

    Jesus! I am getting to sick and tired of stupid people who travel to Iran.
    A swedish stupid civil servant went there, got "arrested", and sweden had
    to let a man convicted of genocide go, in order to bring home a low
    ranking civil servant.

    Hope he thinks about that for the rest of his life, that his foolishness
    let to the release of a man responsible for the death of 1000s.
