>BUT the head of the regime that kidnapped US diplomats in 1979 (the kidnappees say he was one of the kidnappers) and has been in a state of war the with the US ever since, he is owed NOT ONE diplomatic courtesy.>

Then why did the US deal with that regime during the Iran/Contra affair? Just goes to show that what goes around in the open is very different from what goes on behind the scenes. Therefore, what gets mentioned for the US public discourse is selective information to push towards a tacit approval of a pre-determined agenda which necessarily is not in the interest of the US public. All the emotional buttons are pressed - nuclear, Death to---, Islam, sponsorship of terrorism, holocaust denial etc. that just kill any sense of fair play that every american normally displays when dealing with people and institutions within the United States.
