'Humans tend to be confrontational when threatened.' - bingo. The same hair-on-the-back-of-the-neck rising that the civilised world felt on 11/09 - we feel that here in BC when our longtime trusted neighbour attacks our principal industry ... since back in August on the first shot out of the US timber lobby, there has been building the skirl o' the pipes playing Scots Wha' Hae

Hi Carl, Re: that Iran preferred Reagan to Carter. I believe they did, Reagan was more of a realpolitik operator. I've read that Reagan's election team cut a deal with the Iranians to hold on to the hostages through the course of the election, so that Carter's black eye on the Embassy fiasco could be fully exploited by the Republicans. Who, of course, knew exactly which spare parts the Iranians were in need of for their U.S. fabricated arms and war planes, and the Reaganistas were perfectly willing to do an arms deal for an electoral advantage. The set-up for Iran-Contra. Just another wacky conspiracy theory, eh? This sort of under-the-table dealing is exactly why I'm so miffed that GWB has muzzled the usual reach of historians to look at Reagan's presidential papers. Lots of skeletons in that closet, methinks. Deal me in, Ray :)
