I remember the hostages not being freed until Reagan took office. Prove other wise commie idiot.You have explained nothing. iran committed an act of war against the US. Carter could not act for fear of the hostages being killed. Once the hostages were free reagan COULD have acted. HE DID NOTHING ABOUT THE ACT OF WAR. What he did do was to sell the very people who had attacked us arms. Boy, did he ever show them how tough the US was!!! The bottom line here is that reagan was willing to use Americans as bargining chips to win the president. You republicans call that patriotism! I call that being a traitor.The truth of the matter is that reagan was probably a traitor to America. Consider this, the hostages in Iran were sitting in planes on the runways in Iran while reagan took the oath of office. Immediately after it was official reagan was president the planes were allowed to take off. To me that looks like Iran was sending America a message and that message was, we have struck a deal with the US. Want some proof of a deal? Immediately after the hostages were safe, what did reagan do to a country that had committed an act of war against the US. reagan did NOTHING about the attack and hostage taking. Ooops, I forgot something, he did take action. He sold arms to the country that attacked us (Iran/Contra). Don't tell me a deal was not struck. reagan's behavior toward Iran doesn't pass the smell test.
I think the message was, oh, shit, that pussy Carter isn't president anymore, we'd better release the hostages before Reagan bombs the crap out of us.
