Iran shakedown

Ever since the liberal policies of Jimmy Carter and the continued actions later by Bill Clinton, foreign powers have found success getting money from us by threatening to do something outrageous. The release of the hostages by Iran during the late days of Jimmy Carter's reign happened only after the US paid a huge ransom. This was never officially confirmed by this government, but the indications were there and the media had the story in their sights, but couldn't prove it so it died before it's expose. North Korea started this recently and once again we took notice, opened up trade again, loosened up the sanctions against them, which is the same as money, and they agreed to stop their boisterous military threats. Well, Iran is at it again. The nuclear centrifuge development isn't really to start war with anyone. They are only a pimple. They want money. I bet they get it.

It is sad to see the right wing making-up "facts". Now, the truth:

FACT: The hostages were released right after Ronald Rayguns became president. The statement that the hostages were released during the Carter Administration is factually incorrect.

FACT: It has been well publicized that more than anything else, Ronald Rayguns withdrawal of the Marines from Lebanon after the terrorist bombing of the barracks "inspired" Osama bin Laden.

FACT: It was Ronald Rayguns that supplied the terrorist with weapons. Can you spell I-R-A-N-G-A-T-E and/or I-R-A-N-C-O-N-T-R-A.

FACT: If GeorgeBush had not invaded Iraq, we would be in a much better position to engage Iran.

The world IS a dangerous place and we can thank the "right-wing" and their good friends the neo-cons.
