Your rant is riddled with errors, such as blaming a Rep Senate for what a Dem Senate and House did. As I stated, there was no Constitutional crisis. And events bore that out. Reagan is held in such esteem in the world because he was so successful and effective as President. He is now rated by historians as one of three great American Presidents of this century along with the two Roosevelts. cgi.pathfinder.com In contrast, Clinton is a total failure at everything but failure. He's the "Being There" or "Peter Principle" president. Even his hero, JFK, is sinking fast as the truth comes out about his bumbling and reckless presidency. Indeed, Clinton has earned his place in history, at the bottom of the heap. An inspiration Former Rep. Romano Mazzoli, Kentucky Democrat, says a presidential resignation would be "an inspiration" to Americans, help the Democratic Party and "save the country from having a person in office as our president who is a -- I would have to say, an unabashed liar."

re: arms-for-hostages In October 1980 the Carter administration had declared that spare parts for U.S. military equipment could be sold to Iran if the U.S. embassy hostages were released promptly.<77> There was even talk among U.S. officials about pre-positioning some spare parts in Germany, Pakistan, and Algeria so that the Iranians could get the equipment as soon as possible.<78> re: Boland amendment The amendment prohibited the use of the CIA in overthrowing Nicaragua's government. I believe the operation was shifted to the NSC to avoid this. Weren't there three Boland amendments --- when the first one didn't work, they kept drafting new versions.
