   Yes, I much preferred the Reagan approach: Illegaly avoiding the Boland Amendment by working with Narco-terrorists (transporting their cocaine) in order to raise money to fund the Contras as well as purchase Hawk and TOW missiles to sell Iran in exchange for hostages.

   Poor Emery. His Education by Google has caused him to conflate events that happened in 1980 with events that happened in 1985. Although it must be intriguing to believe George HW Bush stowed away in an SR-71 during the hapless Carter administration to meet with representatives from Iran in the same Paris tunnel Princess Diana was murdered in. Jet fuel can’t melt steel, eh, Emery?
   Meanwhile back in the real world, three Americans were kidnapped in Iraq this morning. You will always get more of the behavior you reward, regardless of whether or not the President in office has and ‘R’ a ‘D’ or Goddess help us, an ‘S’ for Socialist as their party affiliation.

   You’d almost think the pro-Cuban, America-hating Sandanistas were the good guys, eh, Emery?
   Ash heap of history and all that. Good riddance to the lot. In the real world, a pissant country with a population of 6 million needs to watch its step when it shares a hemisphere with an incalculably richer, more populous, first world nation that has occasionally nuked its enemies’ cities.
   But then, if the Sandanistas had common sense, they wouldn’t be commies.

   It always surprises me when people look at a shitty country that’s been run by one gangster gang or another for centuries, and, as soon as some wannabe gangster gang of rulers masters the lingo of Marxism, they believe it is represents the legitimate, national aspirations of that countrys’ citizens.
   I am Bento Guzman. I know how uncivilized, third world hell-holes work.

   I’ll go off on a tear here . . .
   Most of the anti-American movements around the world today were inspired by the Soviets after WW2. And by ‘inspired’ I mean ‘paid for and controlled by.’
   The Palestinians, the Cubans and the rest of the Latin American ‘anti-colonial’ moverments. the Vietnamese, the Cambodians, even Japan’s Nihon Kyosan to were controlled by the Soviets. The Soviets were ideologically opposed to nationalism. The nationalist movements were only useful because they opposed the US. The Soviets crushed nationalist movements in their satellite nations and the USSR ruthlessly. They were still Russians running an Empire (the Russians, like the Turks and unlike the English and the other European colonial powers, had no actual national homeland, and existed only as Empires).
   There are a lot of problems with the idea that peace and prosperity come from the dismantling of empires and the decolonization of hte world. The most obvious one is that it is demonstrably not true.

   Now it’s not proven that Reagan himself dealt with Iran, but rather his subordinates. But for the sake of argument, let us assume he did with disastrous results for the region.

   Now what the **** is Obama’s excuse for repeating, and worsening, that mistake?
