Answer 2

Too bad, its a waste of college space. have you heard what our economy was like before Reagan. Double digit unemployment and inflation, I would suppose you didn't get that far in history class or your prof was such a leftist he didn't tell you. If Carter had not sold out the Shah to the Mullahs the problem we have now wouldn't be there. Liberals get blamed for it, because they caused the whole situation in the first place.
Tell you what LS, Carter was without a doubt the worst president in my lifetime, I lived thru his idiocy in the 70s. And what I see is quite a few liberals that go out of their way to ignore what he did and do their best to blame a Republican. It doesn't work, no matter how you spin it, the Democrats are responsible for the problem. Its a pity that they don't have the spine to stand up and admit it. If it wasn't for Reagan, chances are that me and a lot of American servicemen would be learning Russian as a second language in a Soviet POW camp, while people like you were saying that no Americans are being held.

Answer 3

Tell the rest of the story, please!!

Reagan got elected on a platform of never negotiating with terrorists. He then proceeded to fund terrorists in Nicaragua, and when terrorists captured six Americans in Beirut, his envoys negotiated with Iran to broker their release, and sent them 10,000 TOW missiles and a bunch of spare parts for their F-14's. This was AFTER the Ayatollahs were in power that this deal was cut, right?

The above is the substantiated. Don't forget the high likelihood that Reagan actually sent McFarlane and Abrams to Iran before the election to offer them said weapons systems and spare parts if they would only hold the hostages until Inauguration Day...while he campaigned on his platform of never negotiating with terrorists, or terrorist nations....

Answer 4

In 1953 CIA overthrew the democratic government of Iran and installed the brute dictatorship of Iran under a new ruler the Shah. The Shah's police force, the Savak, which was the world's most torturous police force designed by CIA and Mossad, opressed the Iranian population and killed thousands all in the interest of American economic policies. It is under the rule of the brute dicator that our government built an American embassy in Iran and provided all levels of support to the dicatorship. Our government not only provided weapons but also supported Iran in its nuclear ambitions then. Now our government hates Iran because their people overthrew the brute dicatorship favored by America and elected a democratic government which refused to be a puppet regime for the west and also refused to allow its oil resources to be exploited by the west. In the American Era the only way your government could be called democratic, whether in reality it is theocratic, kleptocratic, dictatorship, democratic, monarchy, or what have you, is if it bows down in humiliation and submission to America's Imperialism and Hegemony. The reason why our government hated Iraq, hates Syria and Iran is because they refuse to bow down to western Imperialism and Hegemony. The reason why our government doesn't hate other corrupt dicatorships around the world is because they bow down. This is the truth about our country.

Answer 5

Yeah and we fought England to earnings our independence and we fought our sturdy acquaintances Germany, Japan and Russia. and each "sturdy" Muslim hated and oppressed the Palestinians till that they had a conflict with the Israelis.

Yeah you extremely baited us there guffawing boy. How plenty did you pay to your historic previous degree? If it became into greater effective than 2 gum wrappers and a chew of string, you receive ripped off.

As opposed to Carter's economy where we had double digit inflation and double digit unemployment. Go take a real history lesson.
