Gee, maybe the fact that they invaded our embassy and took 50 of our people hostage for well over a year had something to do with our feelings on the issue...  |
Oh and the fact that the Shah was a stooge of the US for years and that the US encouraged Iraq under saddam to invade Iran as a response to Iran's popular revolution is somehow forgotten here?
50 Americans hostage... Hundreds of thousands dead in Iran-Iraq war...
Do you ever read history books not approved by the American High School curriculum? |
Don't attempt to cloud the issue with events that took place
after they kidnapped our people. That's like saying hitler was justified in attacking Russia because of the damage the Soviets would do to Berlin in 1945. The only one forgetting anything is you and it seems to be the proper time line.
BTW you can keep your insults to yourself Sonny. I didn't have to learn about the Iranian hostage crisis from the history books like you apparently did. On November 4th 1979 I had been serving my country as a soldier for over two years already.
The nuclear agreements we had with Iran was with the Shahs government, not the pack of murdering religious fanatics who supplanted him. How can you possibly argue that not giving Khomeni and company the Bomb was not a good thing?
