Should The United States Be Involved In The Iran Hostage Crisis?

[rhertz]

If I was the commander and chief of those British soldiers, I would tell Iran, you have 72 hours to deliver them unharmed, or else we bomb your nuke facilities. Plain and simple. They might not deliver the soldiers, but they would end up respecting the west a little more.

But something is wrong with this. I think Iran WANTS us to bomb them for some reason. Perhaps it is political strategy. Or perhaps they want their new underground facilties "tested" by the Americans so they know if they are on the right track or not in their covert operations, before banking more on their assumptions that they are safe. It might be better to find out now than later, kind of thing.
