Yea, because what we really needed to pep up a depressed economy and a massive energy shortage was a good old war
You really can't discuss the hostage crisis, or even Iran for that matter without recognizing our influence, and the influence of Russia in the nation the past half century.
Iran today is in a large part a product of the Cold War.
The broader War on Terror is in a large part a product of the Cold War.
It's time we start looking at these problems for what they are, and not what some idiologues would like them to be.
