I predict that they’re going to attempt a coup in Lebanon. Who’s their inspiration? Why Khomeini, of course. Najif was a hot spot for Shiite muslims - Hezbollah’s current secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, was schooled there.
I asked the teacher if Jimmh was to blame for all our current problems. Let’s just say the answer was in the affirmative.
You could probably spend 2 academic weeks studying worse thing. From the perspective of terror, while it might not have been an issue to the man in the street, it was a half dozen years after Yasser Arafat kidnapped and killed two American diplomats to free Bobby Kennedy’s killer, Sirhan Sirhan. We were 8-10 years into airliner hijackings and bombing, and while it wasn’t all Islamic, it was time for the administration to pay attention. To miss the radical aspect of Islamic terror is inexcusable at that level. The Embassy takeover, an act of war. Carter’s not to blame for all our problems, but the recent inceception of our conflict with radical Islam lies in the 4 years he was President.
