I was standing in front of the Iranian embassy with a tape machine and a microphone...and OUR students yelling "Down with Khomeni!" Holy smokes, that was another day. I remember doing a phone interview with the Iranian dep. chief of mission of the embassy after the hostages were taken, and this guy had nowhere to go. If he went home, he would be killed or at least imprisoned, yet he could not stay on with the embassy because the mullahs had taken control of the government.
Do you recollect who the president was when all of this happened? The whining wreck from Plains, GA, "Mr. Tower of Jello," Jimmah Carter.
I was a freshman in college, and I recall that in the Student Union cafeteria, a bunch of American students surrounded a group of Iranian students and wouldn't let them leave. No one got arrested, but it made the college paper. We need more of that today.
