What would Reagan have done?
For that matter, what would Bush have done?
Either one of them would have at least spoken the truth.
OZero asked himself, “what would Carter do”... and then he did worse. Much, much worse.
You mean when the 3:00 AM call came in, he put it on hold and called Carter to find out what to do next.

“To the people of Iran: You are rich in culture and talent. You have a right to live under a government that listens to your wishes, respects your talents, and allows you to build better lives for your families. Unfortunately, your government denies you these opportunities, and threatens the peace and stability of your neighbors. So we call on the regime in Tehran to heed your will, and to make itself accountable to you. The day will come when the people of Iran have a government that embraces liberty and justice, and Iran joins the community of free nations. And when that good day comes, you will have no better friend than the United States of America.” - President George W. Bush, January 13, 2008.
