Alas, Jimmy Carter had the chance to fix this problem way back in
1979...

to fix what? the financing of the Ayatollah? all the political moves
made by the British (et-al)?

He had the chance to eliminate the entire future leadership of Iran in
one airstrike. Carter didn't have the balls, for fear of harming the
hostages.

28 years later, we're paying a stiff price for having electing a
clawless, clueless president -- and now, instead of a few hostages, we
have many millions of lives at stake, and a nuclear-armed, radical
Islamic state.

Carter will go down in history as the one man who could have changed
the course of history -- and didn't. In 200 years historians will be
writing about him in the same breath as Neville Chamberlain.

Well, assuming the West wins the war, and we get to write the history
books.


Good grief. You have to stop sniffing the lemon pledge.
