#2 Carter should have taken the city of Qom hostage in 1979 with a nuke. A deadline should have been given for the release of the hostages. If they were not released, take out Qom. If they were harmed, then go on to the next city. I have trouble imagining Carter ever contemplating that option.

#3 "Death to America"

Enjoy the party. We have not forgotten either.

I have trouble imagining Carter ever contemplating that option.

One of Carter's conditions for a rescue mission to take place was that the rescuers only use non-lethal methods when trying to beat feet out of Tehran.

#4 JQC you have the heart of a liberal. I would have nuked Qom and then started negations over Mecca.

Nukes... Gawd gave them to us for a reason.

#5 SteveS - that sounds eerily like OBumbles's Rules of Engagement today in Afghanistan.

"Don't wake up the locals defending yourselves...."
