Had you bothered to view the web site, you would have noticed that there were pockets of wind gusts, as well as pockets of low - zero wind speeds. Both of which fit into the blowing off course and needing a propeller statements. Going from one area of the Persian Gulf to another would have caused varying wind speeds.
The fact that unreasonable people want to twist that into something particularly sinister or unfair speaks to the propaganda war the west is waging against Iran right now.

So, because of the past that means all Iranian's are doomed to live under whatever conditions the Islamic regime sees fit, because 30 years ago the Islamic revolution threw out the western puppet! I am thinking, and people's desires change - the 30 year Islamic experiment has failed, and has led to fascism against Persian's, and they have had enough of it!

I think some of you in this thread would be playing a different tune if they did
I honestly and with statistics do not see it in the way you choose to post it. If you would take the time to see what advances the nation has achieved in those 30 years you would automatically realize that it has achieved far more in 30 years than what it had while under the pro western political ideology.
I would also like to add, that this is not a "REGIME", it is an elected political party, similar to what we have in the U.S. or you may have in your own nation. So i still fail to understand why you would quote the political as a "REGIME" when the term itself is used for other purposes other than identifying a democratic elected political ideology.
I also do take note of you liberally using the term "Regime", do you not see how you have inadvertently been manipulated through MSN. Do you not realize that this may be one of my many occupations in real life. Do you not see my signature.

A. You weren't there!
B. It's still not clear if they crossed over the line!
C. Maybe they were young & naive sailors who thought they were invincible, and were pushing it going close to the border, and the Iranian navy spotted an opportunity for a propaganda shot!
At the end of the day, they should be released within a few weeks, and learn to stay entirely away from that region. I'm sure the regime can make up a few excuses to keep hold of them until christmas at least, and hand them back as a christmas present to Britain.
