No Sympathy.

Was reading comments by people on the three young hikers who have been jailed in Iran for the last year. Many of the comments which had high scores of "thumbs up" were along these lines:

"DUH lets go hike near the border of Iran and then next week we'll go to the border of North Korea..bunch of idiots...no sympathy for these fools..."

Why are we so cynical and...mean? No sympathy for being jailed in a foreign country with no idea if or when they will be released? I also saw the same for the journalists who were in N.Korea last year. Smart? Perhaps not...but...no sympathy? Hurts my heart it just seems too arrogant.
