How about the selling of military techology to create ICBM's in China that are currently pointed our way...placing U.S. children in harm's way? Check out how Clinton has sold us a bill of goods...why doesn't he go back to China and make it a one way trip! Check out his affiliation with John Huang...make sure you haven't eaten for awhile though...unless you want to soil your keyboard!

Nice try at an analogy.. however, arms were sold to Iran in support of contra efforts in Nicaragua.. these funds were used to support the Iran contra efforts in Nicaragua because the Nicaraguan government shot down a US plane on Oct. 5 1986 and the only surviving crew member was taken into custody. Here is a good summary fas.org and a quote.. "As the White House section of this report describes in detail, the investigation found no credible evidence that President Reagan violated any criminal statute." However, I agree that Reagan misled Congress and created the environment for the actions of his cabinet in the Iran Contra affair.. So, the similarities you draw are vaguely present.. does this mean that because Reagan was not punished that Clinton should not be punished?
