Sixty-six Americans were held hostage for 444 days, November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981. They were released the day Reagan was sworn into office. Are you claiming Carter put a nuke in the air two weeks before they were released?

I went to your wiki on Compact of Free Assoc. and moved on to another wiki site. I think I can guess now why Obama referred to something like 56 or 57 states a while back. Among others there are Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands. Then there is also Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Washington, DC. Depending on the year, there are various numbers of associated places. Having gone to school in Indonesia and Hawaii, who knows what he was being taught or how outdated the textbooks. Patsy Mink, congresswoman from Hawaii, was fighting for the rights of some of these islands in the 1970s. At any rate it’s complicated.
