Did I miss something here? Is there anyone old enough to remember the U.S. embassy hostage crisis who feels any great love towards the Iranis? Not to mention all the stuff they've had their hand in since then (Hezbullah, etc).
Flashback joke from that era:
Q: What's 3000F, glows, and is flat as a pancake?
A: Teheran, 15 minutes after Ronald Reagan is sworn in as President.
A: Teheran, 15 minutes after Ronald Reagan is sworn in as President.
The notion might have had something to do with the hostages being released just about the time the "Old Cowboy" was sworn in. Ya think?
