What a great day, when President Ronald Regan took office, what do you know the radicals released the American's. They knew that jim was a limp president and that Ronald Regan was going to put a stop to this on his first day in office. And the class of President Ronald Regan, he gave credit to jim, for what ?

[gossamer]

"My main advisers insisted that I should attack Iran," he told reporters in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai, where he was helping build houses for Habitat for Humanity. "I could have destroyed Iran with my weaponry. But I felt in the process it was likely the hostages' lives would be lost, and I didn't want to kill 20,000 Iranians. So I didn't attack."

Oh really so you let them remain hostage for 444 days not knowing if they would remain a live the next day. That's torture.

Carter should be sued for torture.

Carter was, is and will always be a joke.

Never heard of the Iran-Contra affair I see. Reagan's basic plan was to pay a ransom without anybody being the wiser as to why the hostages were being released. Paying money to save the hostages lives was one of the few things Raygun did I can take my hat off to. But as a conservative he folded like bad poker hand.

He was helping rebuild homes destroyed durig the Vietnam war caused by the US unprovoked invasion.
Thank god Carter did not go down the road of using Agent Orange or chemical weapons on Iran.

[too droll to troll]

One of the masterminds of the embassy takeover was none other than Ahminejad (aka Imanutjob). If that miscreant had been taken out, and he should have been, there wouldn't be half the problems now occuring in the middle east.

Carter had 2 attributes that are like water and the bad witch of the west to conservatives. He had a strong christian faith and probably a wee bit too much compassion for human life.

Fortunately America does well with a respectable philosophical balance of the libs bleeting over compassion for all and cons not caring about anybody but themselves. God help us if either one actually gained absolute control of America.

We'd either be killing ourselves to save the world or killing everything in the world to save ourselves.

Carter has gone from laughing stock to pond scum. He should be tared and feathered and sent to Tehran.

[The Merm]

So far, Carter has been the worst president in this country's history. However, give the Savior Obama 3 more years and he may take over the title.

Agree but they don't need another loon.

[Unimpressed]

And look where Carter and his wussiness got us. Now one of the kidnappers is the president of Iran, and it is still the terrorist funding nation it has always been. Please Mr.Carter don't do the USA anymore favors.

[Nukeallah]

F him, now how many are going to die.

but your country detained innocent people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq including children raped them there, tortured for 8 years and some of them were beaten to death and torment to death and your admministration wants to transfer some of those people to us jails. And Iran and Iranian did nothing wrong to you, they wanted to get rid of inhumane regime of puppet criminals and be free. They did not murder anybody and it was nothing wrong. And it is time to understand it, to stop to be cranky, criminal pig and leave these people in peace. Stop to gnaw this incident and LEAVE THIS IRAN IN PEACE. Other words - fu... off. And begin to deliberate and rethink crime against humanity commited by usa.
