Does ANYONE believe Iran?

Some other nations condone or 'ascribe to' terrorism, beheaddings and bombings of innocent civilians though.

Did Carter bring them home and in one piece? Yes or no.

No, since they intentionally weren't released until after Carter left office, I (and I suspect a majority of Americans who remember that era) don't and never will give Carter much credit for resoving anything. Yes, the revisionists disagree, but the threat of a new "regime" in America is what history is generally painting as the factor that finally got the Iranian thugs to move.

And did you feel Reagan emboldend Iran when he sold them arms for hostages? Yes or no.

Apparently not, since they in relative terms behaved themselves back then. Why they have now fallen back into being an outlaw, holocaust-denying regime that deserves no sympathy from any thinking individual is another issue.

Sorry, I really can't comment about Rosie O'Donnell because I don't give a crap.

Fine - and interesting that her apologists seem to have thrown in the towel on trying to defend her as being any sort of rational, consistent voice on this subject.

Did Rosie discuss the Iran Contra affair? The Reagan hostage release? I am sorry I missed it, where can I find it?

Pehaps you should ask LuvDuke - he's the one who brought that subject matter into this discussion.

No, that's what you're claiming. History hasn't come to any conclusions unless it's the Gospel according to Ronald Reagan as professed by the Republicans.

First, No one is giving them any sympathy so you can put that strawman to bed.

Second, why am I not surprised you can't criticize Ronald Reagan.

Frankly, I give a crap even less over what Rosie O'Donnell says than I do what George Bush says .......... and that's saying something.
