<The hostages were finally released, 20 minutes after President Ronald Reagan gave his inaugural address.> It probably took that long for Ronald Raygun's team to phone Iran and say, "The negotiations are over. In an hour there won't be any Iran left to negotiate with. We think it won't take you that long to release the hostages and show it. We're busy right now since we've just gained the presidency, so don't bother phoning back as the phone will be busy. Goodbye." Okay, maybe that exact phone call didn't take place. Maybe Ronald himself had a word with them saying "Look, I don't really understand all the tricky diplomatic speak and negotiating detail. I'm a simpleton from Hollywood. All I know is I just got a big red button to push if I get scared or angry. Right now, I'm angry that yous have got a whole lot of Americans held hostage. An hour after I become president, I'm going to push that big red button. So make sure you do that negotiating stuff with Jimmy really well." I think King George II will have a similar negotiation with Iran, though he is perhaps more reasonable than Raygun and doesn't have Nancy to egg him on. Iran has no need of nookular power stations, being one of the world's big exporters of oil, so it's for reasons other than electricity supply that they want enriched uranium. I wonder what else it can be used for. Oh, that's right, bombs to blow up Jews. Which they said they'd do. Mqurice
