This whole hatefest about what the new Iranian prez did 25 years ago...
Is ridiculous

Why can't they just ignore what he did like they ignore it the same way that they ignore what the Shrub did way back when?

As if, WE can do anything about who the Iranians want as their prez

1. Look at the big picture.
It's the start of the rational for going to war with Iran.

5. I can see Shrub now, "the President of Iran has forty-eight hours
to turn himself in." Then he starts bombing before the 48 hours have elapsed...

8. Exactly, this is the misadministration's latest tactic......

They could not get Bolton in the U.N. to strong arm them (U.N.) into agreeing to letting the U.S. to go war, so this is their newest tactic to promote the war with Iran they want so badly.

11. Who cares if its the same guy or not.
Were there WMDs in Iraq. Was there a 9/11 connection. Don't you know the pres creates his own reality?

13. Calm down...
You need to check into The Ministry of Love....a few little sessions will disabuse you of such nonsense...

Of coarse it's the same guy...the * Ministry of Truth machine says so...remember, we have been fighting him for years...we kicked him out of Afganistan, then Iraq, now he is hiding in Iran...Osama bin Ahmadinejad ordered those planes into the towers...he must pay!

9. I'm still trying to determine a LOT about this matter. Let's see:
The Shah of Iran was in power based on a CIA backed coup. He was an evil dictator who did horrible, horrible things to his OWN people. The MAJORITY of the people wanted him removed from power and were successful in overthrowing a BRUTAL DICTATOR.

He then fled to the United States. The Iranians wanted him extradited to face charges. The US refused. The Iranians used what weapons they had on hand, ie, the taking of hostages. The hostages were eventually released.

I agree that the taking of hostages should be condemned. However, the United States has a history of holding entire nations hostage and leaves a wake of death and destruction in its path.

14. It was the one thing, taking in the Shah, that I truly disagreed
with Jimmy Carter. I wasn't old enough to realize the impact at the time but it was obviously a case of blowback.

15. I don't think this is the same guy
The pictures I've seen don't really look like the same guy. Other hostages say he's not the same guy. But I bet the media and the white house spin this shit as the White House builds a case for war with Iran.

18. They don't look alike to me either- different eyes, nose and heighth
The Pres is shorter and slighter built with eyes that are set closer together at a different angle and a different size nose. Pics of him back during his student days do not match pictures of the man they are claiming was him.

20. The networks can end this shit in two minutes if they wanted to
All they have to do is hire a panel of independent and unbiased forensic pathologists to compare the pics

We can all guess what answer they'll come up with

21. Calculated, Disgusting, Hateful, RACIST PROPOGANDA
It's as legit as claims of WMD in Iraq.
