And let's not forget that Iran's president was himself a ringleader of the gang that held Americans hostage from November 1979 to January 1981. He is a man with whom the United States has a long overdue debt of honor to settle


Speaking of the hostages, I watched the "Guests of the Ayatollah" program on Discovery last night.

Carter should have issued an ultimatum. Free the hostages in 48 hours or the US will consider the seizure of the embassy as an act of war, and act accordingly. Then send in 3 aircraft carriers and mobilize the Marines.

Those were different times right after Vietnam, I guess.
