So, let me get this straight. In your mind, trying to understand the historical context of an action is equal to justifying an action? That is illogical. Why remain ignorant of the historical facts that preceeded the Iranian hostage taking instance. It doesn't change the fact that the actions by the Iranians were barbaric and unjustified. Just because one tries to understand what drove them to revolt against the Shah of Iran and the United States, doesn't mean you are trying to justify their actions. Why do I bother associating with such nitwits?!?
