Dear Andrea, After great contemplation and with all due respect, you're nuts.

I always wonder if the liberal media is that stupid or they just think Americans are that stupid.

Iran ceased being an ally after the Shah was overturned. Thanks in large part to Jimmy Carter and his “wonderful” foreign policies.

Andrea must have memory loss about the Iran hostage crisis and the problems it caused Carter. Of course, to liberals, history doesn’t exist.

She must be nostalgic for the Carter years when they took the embassy hostages.

Andrea... you ignorant slut.

Iran hasn’t been a friend to the USA since the shah was deposed.

Do the Nation a favor and shut your ignorant pie hole.

... And Bush was proven right with his remarks. So Andrea were we buddies with Iran when the took over our embassy and held our personnel hostage for a year?

It’s propaganda. They know that if they say it enough a significant portion of the population will believe them.

Yea right. They called America the great Satan, said all Americans must die, supplied arms to north Korea and financed Hezbollah and other terrorist groups because they were such a great American ally. These people in the MSM are nothing but liars.

“more or less an American ally.”
How can, Andres, Iran be more or less an American ally?
You are more or less sane.

I thought that we broke off diplomatic relations during the Carter administration.

My step kids are in their early 30s and they know absolutely nothing about Iran history or the hostage crisis.
