Yes IB...I've read where we overthrew a democratically elected President and installed the Shah of Iran. Is that true?
I do remember '79 and I remember Reagan turning tail and running in '83 and I also remember Ronnie selling Iran arms. Funny, I remember Iran helping Reagan before the 1980 election by not releasing hostages. Some would say the Logan Act may have been abused, similar to Flynn.
My how history repeats itself.
