An obvious Irany about the 1979-1981 Tehran hostage-crisis is that after a lot of threats and at least one use of military force to try to rescue the hostages instead of "negotiating with terrorists", said crisis was eventually resolved after (horrors!) **talking about it** with said captors, and forming the Algiers Accords which resulted in said hostages' being peaceably released. Makes you wonder why the U.S. government didn't try this logical method in the first place, eh???

The measurements of a "hot-chick" contestant who didn't quite win a "pin-up model" prize, but was still a very close "runner up".
