"As soon as I saw his picture in the paper, I knew that was the bastard," retired Army Col. Charles Scott, 73, a former hostage told the Times. "He was one of the top two or three leaders." Added Scott, "The new president of Iran is a terrorist." Scott is one of at least six former hostages who have stated that they believe the men are one in the same.
This is being viewed as an issue that can further complicate an already very complicated situation, as the U.S. seeks to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons and from continuing to support terrorism, while hoping to move it toward a true democratic system.
"Indeed, Brian," replied Ms. Mitchell. "And all of the student leaders at the time who now are in the power structure in Iran were revolutionaries. It was an enormously popular takeover, they all supported it. But it would have a political effect because it would help the administration in its very apparent efforts to undermine this new government and paint it as a radical government."
So there you have it. Who are we to pass judgment? This is just George Bush on another one of his reckless crusades to, quote, "undermine this new government and paint it as a radical government."
In other words, don't blame the Iranian government for the fact that it is run by terrorists who hate America. Blame Bush.
