In all seriousness, what makes this so different? I wasn't alive during the Iran hostage situation but I genuinely do not understand what is different between now and then in regards to a foreign government holding our citizens hostage for over 6+ months now. It just amazes me that we aren't hearing from the President more, get no updates, do not seek the Red Cross being able to see the hostages to confirm they're alive, etc. as part of all negotiations or ceasefire talks.
