Hikers arrested in Iran

Okay, why were they hiking in Iraq? Hadn't they heard, there is a war going on there? Is this, "Poor little rich kids," with nothing better to do than to go hiking through a war zone? These kids need something better to do like, help rebuild New Orleans or Haiti. Go help out at the homeless shelter. Find some lawns to mow. Help a little old lady cross the street. I have trouble finding sympathy for these kids.
