[QUOTE="Allen, post: 488823, member: 389"] Reagan thought "arming Iran was a good idea"? He was the one who campaigned on punishing Iran immediately after he took the oath of office. Which is why they very quickly gave up the hostages after he occupied the Oval Office. However, he did actually help arm Iraq, who was at war with Iran back then. Also, I am not quite following why you keep saying we put the current administration into power in Iran. The way I remember it is that they were not fans of the Shah and had a religious uprising that put the current terrorists in charge. Yes, we were friends with the Shah and Iran back then, we even had military listening posts on their border with the old USSR. What am I missing here? Maybe you're thinking of the F-14s and other U.S. military hardware Iran has/had. Those were sold to Iran by Nixon. [/QUOTE]
