Sarah Shourd was one of the three hikers who crossed over the Iraq and Iran border about a year ago. She got to come back after being detained in Iran for more than a year the others are still there. The Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said it is a humanitarian gesture, but he wants us to release eight Iranians held here in America. He isn't letting Bauer or Fattal go, because they have to go throught their justice system.
I think that it is really dumb that they got arrested in the first place. The fact that he is trying to get eight Iranians released and won't release the other two Americans to me is unfair. I'm glad that Sarah got to come back though. I don't know if I would be able to be detained in Iran for over a year, and I can't imagine what it is like for the families of the hikers. The other two families are probablly mad that their loved one didn't get released like Sarah did. I would be mad too if one of my loved ones was over there and someone who did the exact same thing as them gets to be free while they go through the system. If I was in charge for the trade of giving them any of their people I wouldn't do it.
