From National Review:
By committing an act of war, Iran has simultaneously made itself look peaceful and made the West look impotent.
That paradox is the apparent outcome of the crisis that began when Iran kidnapped 15 British sailors and marines on March 23. Today, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that the 15 had been “pardoned” — their supposed offense having been to trespass on Iranian coastal waters — and would be sent home.
And some are already using it as fresh fodder for Bush-bashing, i.e. Nancy Pelosi saved the day over the incompetent George Bush by going to Syria and convincing these ever-so-reasonable people to get the peace-loving Iranians to forgive the imperialistic British invaders.
