Phew!

What a relief to hear that those plucky young men and their boat have been set free. Their families will feel the lifting of that dreadful pall of fear and worry.

This is good news too for signals coming out of Iran. Much mischief could have been made of this, but the authorities were punctilious and fair. This is potentially more important than the wild declaration to build not one or two, but ten new atom plants. The latter was clearly designed for home consumption to outflank the hawks. The former is a message to the world at large and to us in particular.

I have argued for some time that our policy towards Iran is wrong. Maybe this is a good moment to re-think.
