| ObamaÂ’s Hostage Crisis |
| 2012-02-21 |
| It may not be the equivalent of the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979-81 or the subsequent seizures of American citizens in Lebanon, but the Obama administration has a hostage crisis of sorts on its hands, and how it handles it will be of considerable importance not only to the presidentÂ’s standing but the countryÂ’s. |

| #6 I thought this was going to be a story about Americans in this U.S. being held hostage for 1722 days. |

| #5 >guilty of the apparent crime of trying to develop civil society and democracy. I'm not so sure about that. I support Egypt's rights to stop outside meddling. |

| #4 I see it differently. Obama and his brotherhood in Egypt will resolve this in October before the election for a bump in the polls. |

| #1 Yeah, the Iranian hostages didn't do anything other than be employees of the US government. The brouhaha in Egypt is because these Americans were plotting to interfere in Egypt's internal affairs. |
