My admittedly evidence-free theory about the hostage release is that the Iranians thought that Reagan just might actually bomb them and decided not to find out the hard way. If that's true, and I have no way of knowing, kudos to old Dutch for instilling fear in our enemies.


Yeah scared the shit outta those that massacred those marines in lebanon. yeah ole ronnie sure scared them,


Point taken. I should have made clearer that I was talking specifically about the Iranians.

That said, recall that Reagan was an unknown quantity--at least in terms of how he'd act as President--on 1.20.81. I honestly think the Iranians thought he was nuts enough to bomb them if they held on to the hostages.

The Iranians waited to thumb their noses at Carter. It wouldn't have mattered who the new President was...totally a pride thing.

That I'm not so sure about. But I admit I have no way of knowing!

They were, after all, a group of students, not a deliberating Senate.

Why on Gods green earth, when we have such an enormous technical and strategic advantage over the rest of the world on missile defense


That's why. It is indeed enormous. And so is Russia's....and dangerous. These aren't your Hiroshima nukes...it would only take a few for the dust fallout alone to kill off the earth.

Now, I'm thinking this is something we should deal with, especially since security isn't what it was in the former Soviet Union.

Or we could take your position, wait till one slips out into the wrong hands, and then we could destroy the earth in retaliation.

Come on.



I'm referring to the missile *defense system* not missiles and warheads. Russia is nowhere near us in missile defense capability. Thats why they have been apposed it for so many years and it's been a point of contention. Now they have Obama on their side. With Russian piss poor security it's all the more reason to have a defense system in place.


Exactly, we now have the technology to actually intercept missles and hit on impact. A part of this branches from the patriot missle defense system but a much improved version called the Arrow and or Hetz through the years it was of course developed even farther to the point we now have a 99% kill rate, and that is a lot better then having one detonate on American soil. My guess is the community organizer will either promise to kill this defense system, stop farther improvements, or perhaps allow the technoloy to fall into Russian hands or all of the above.
