As to Ambassador Dillon: "Iranian grievances", "misinterpretation" and "not really Hezbollah cuz they had a different name then"???
Thanks for the diplo-speak pal, no wonder we're still being bombed in Iraq and elsewhere by the same guys, 25 effing years later.
We know who did it, and we are going to send Jimmy Carter to meet with them for some aggressive diplomacy!
If the USG had this information, why didn’t Reagan take action against Iran? We know Khobar Towers was blown up by the Iranians, yet Clinton did nothing. The problems we have today with Iran stem from our failure to act ever since our Embassy was taken over in Tehran in 1979.
I wonder which of the world’s major religions these folks practice...
And they are met with excuses and rationalizations by the press and governments world wide.
And I am sick of dividing this cult up by the names they give themselves, when there motives, their stated ideology, their targets, and tactics are the same.
Would any government have treated the KKK the same? Wondering why they hate us?
I think maybe we need to wait until we find out if Dillon actually said this. Kuwait doesn’t have a free press and there are a couple of shots at Israel and Iran in the article that seem a little, er, gratutitous.
One of Reagan’s few serious missteps while in office. I remember being dissapointed that we were turning tail and running away.
