Cb,
The hostage crisis created an anti-iran view in this country and the CW back then is that during the iran/iraq war we tilted toward iraq as the lesser of two evils. Many americans hoped that both sides would exhaust themselves in a brutal war which in part happened. And at that time the Ayotollah was comprable to bin laden today and the iranians engaged in terrorism. Saddam always kept the terror connections on the low burner and it always was more difficult to pin terrorism on iraq. Perhaps with the capture of saddam we will learn the extent of their involvement then and now. Mike
