"I do know that we should never have tolerated the hostage crisis. Under any competent president, it would have lasted only a few days. "

I felt EXACTLY as you do for a while. But, as I aged, I realized that EVERY hostage got out alive thanks to Jimmy Carter's restraint and wisdom. No wider war was triggered with the Soviets or their proxies. The man is a true Christian.

Yeah Reagan fled from Lebanon after being attacked... what courage under fire. And like with Bush and 9/11 we never got the perpetrator.
