Can you feel the LOVE in this room?

Fingerpointing and fault laying accomplishes exactly zero.

It's the "KATRINA effect" all over again.

Knowing and understanding what ,who and how things happen is useful as a guide for the future. As sweet as revenge may be,it's ridiculously stupid.

Yes but unfortunately no one is undertaking the radical changes necessary to solve the problems. Besides reforms, we also need to do some more killing. The mullahs first, then knock Cuba out, maybe have Chavez assassinated. The the situation would be a lot better. North Korea, (armed by Clinton) is actually little threat, their nukes likely are not functional, they have no effective means of delivery, plus there country is such a wreck, they cannot even feed themselves, let alone fight. The have almost no oil, any war they start will fail when their tanks and planes stop for lack of fuel. The are just trying to get aid. Talks with them is stupid, it is what they want. They are just blackmailers and criminals. Cut off all communication and aid, seize their ships carrying weapons, drugs and counterfeit money, and let them whine, do not respond.

I beg your pardon, but I must disagree. Figuring out exactly what went wrong, and who made it go wrong, is the first step in fixing a solution.

Knowing, for example, that trusting anti-American dictators leads to more trouble is HUGELY important in making future decisions. For decades we've let the Left howl at us for "propping up undemocratic regimes" merely because they were friendly to us. Well, now we see what happens when we abandon that tactic. This makes it much easier to defend our earlier stance. And in case you can't tell, when we lose our confidence in our moral authority to act on our own behalf, we lose our will to fight for our survival.

Really? Do you tell the leftist traitors in this country the same thing? You sound like another jimmy carter. Sad.

You have a good point, but in this case little jimmie(lower case intended) just will not stop coddling anti-American despots. I will continue my sweet revenge on the incompetent jerk.

Knowing and understanding? That's rich. On the day Jimmy's pick, Khomenhi, was buried the howling mobs of insane Muslims rioted so badly that they actually toppled his glass coffin in the street and his rotten old carcass fell out onto the ground. Remember that?

I watched that evil unfold on my TV, and that is when I KNEW and UNDERSTOOD that there was going to be WWIII with those people.

If you really think that finger pointing accomplishes zero, how about if enough fingers point at the real damage Carter has done to the U.S., at the real danger he has helped perpetrate against the U.S.? What if we all agreed that our former President is guilty of high treason? Could we try him?

I agree with your point about knowing and understanding, and while so many fault Carter for the current situation with Iran, I always wonder why people leave Congress out of the blame. We suffered an Act of War, this country was invaded when the embassy was invaded, hostages held in Iran. Congress had both the duty and responsibility to pass a Declaration of War and authorize Carter to use any means necessary to free those citizens, whatever force it took. Had they done that, we probaby would not be in the postion we are today, there would not have been an Iran-Contra problem, no need to help Hussein back then, no Gulf War, no Iraq war now.

Why Congress is always left out of the loop confounds me.
