why?Are Iranians "less human" than the British sailors?

I'm not gonna discuss whether Iran had the right to capture British sailors or not, since the border was disputed and as many believed it gave t space for both countries to claim that what they had done / said was right.What I wanna discuss is that why is it that 5 Iranian diplomats kidnapped by the U.S in Iraq (and one kidnapped in Turkey) are not considered as important as the British sailors?why is it that no one investigates to see if they're tortured but when it comes to British sailors they claimed they might have been tortured while they were not?the British sailors say we faced a crew with guns pointing at us. Did they expect flowers or even a pat on the back?what would the U.S or other countries do if they captured foriegners in their teritorial waters?(this could be right or wrong since the border was disputed) I'm sure if this had happened in another country's waters, the captives would be tortured, imprisoned and wouldn't be released so easily.(take Iranian diplomats for example) while the worst thing Iran's done to the captives was seperating the female sailor from the rest of the crew and then nothing.Iranians are kind people.why is it that the news talk about the sailors being blindfolded, but doesn't talk as much about the gifts they were given or how they were really treated.They just say "the past two weeks have been difficult", but they refuse to give any further information about how they were treated.(why? because it may give Iran publicity or credit?)yes, it'd be difficult for me if I were captured and were away from my family, but that doesn't mean that I'm hurt, tortured or......How can people / the media be so injustice and prejudice when it comes to Iran?Any answers relating other topics such as nuclear program will be ignored.Focus on the question itself.

1. because demonization preceeds invasion or bombing you cant really go into a war or kill a bunch of people and think the whole time hey they have families and loved ones. They have to be extremists that want to kill women and children. You have to erase from your mind that the largest concentration of Jews in the Middle east outside Israel is in Iran and they arent getting gassed/bombed. They USA has a beef with Iran and gets as many on board as possible to persecute them. You dont get civil rights when you are an enemy of this state (renditions, Gitmo, Abu-Graib). As far as the media goes they basically say whatever the USA tells them too otherwise they may get a rendition!
2. They aren't, but perhaps the actions that each group of people captured had different agenda's behind them.
3. The Iranians were not kidnapped, the Brits were... This makes a big difference...
4. =================== OK, without reading your pathetic rhetoric, I can see right away that you don't believe the sailors when they say they were "threatened" to apologize and admit guilt or face 7 years in prison. There's no mention of a trial to them. There's no mention of due process. There's only two options being presented. If you leave out that one fact, then maybe some of what you had to say holds water. But you are choosing to ignore the details that go against what you WANT to believe. I feel sorry for your type. ================== Left-wingers keep insisting that we torture. Give me one name, just one name. Can you do that? I didn't think so...
5. I think you asked this question once. You need to break up paragraphs cause people would rather not read a pile of words... Especially from a conspiracy theorist. If you have an idea you need to support it. Not throw it in the trash with bad grammar.
6. Not going to read your diatribe but They are not... but they didn't man up.
7. The rule is if you catch other countries in YOUR territorial waters you IMMEDIATELY ask them to leave and it happens, but no one captures and detains them, they did it as a stunt
8. Because the captured Iranian official were caught in Iraq giving support to insurgency groups on the other hand the British personnel were in Iraqi waters (this was verified by the GPS coordinates that the Iranians themselves provided) performing their UN mandated duties. Truth7: read my comment properly before you type your comments, I said that the Iranians provided GPS coordinates that proved the personnel were in IRAQI waters not IRANIAN waters. The statement was ment to show that the Iranians are liars.
9. It's called HYPOCRICY, and the reason the media can be so unjust and prejudice when it comes to Iran is because the media are not objective bystanders, they are an important tool for governments to control public opinion and gain support for government policies.
10. Because the U.S. and Britain are trustable governments which humanely treat their citizens and act in accordance to their international treaties and oaths. Iran is a rogue nation that the majority of governments are distrustful of. Iran completely shrugs off U.N. mandates. The U.S. and Britain comply and protest when in disagreement. **British personnel were in Iraqi waters (this was verified by the GPS coordinated that the Iranians themselves provided) And you believe them why? Just because Iran knows a positive gps report that agrees with their excuse, does not mean the coordinates are the truth. Again, they are proven liars and internationally recognized as a 'rogue' state.
11. they're not. this whole thing smells of hypocrisy. if we were iran we'd do the same. and no human has more value than another
12. Iran has always wanted to be the center of attention. If he had a chance to destroy Israel, he would, which is why we can't let him acquire nuclear weapons. I can't say all Iranians are bad, but they currently have a bad president much like the USA does at this time. Iran is just asking for a war, if they aren't careful they are gonna get one I think. They used those sailors for propaganda, they tortured and threatened them into making false statements on TV, and then give them back as a "Gift" to Britain. Fortunately, most of the world can see right through their lies.
