Motley:  Do a little research re: the Iran Hostage Crisis.  Your simplistic  comment shows a real lack of knowledge regarding the circumstances of the Iranian Revolution and the efforts to achieve the release of the hostages.  Did you know, for example, that the arrangements for the release were made by Warren Christopher representing the Carter administration.. Some think Reagan got the hostages released.....he didn't.....They were released on Jan. 20, 1981 after prolonged negotiations led by Christopher.  It's a very interesting story.....read it sometime.  Gary Crum
