If you say so.

I just did. Are you going to continue attempting to provoke a hostile response by playing the player rather than the ball, or are you going to admit that you were actually wrong when you mis-used the word treason?

How about a not-so-funny picture.

This one is from Oakland California in March of 1942. The owner of the store, an American citizen of Japanese ancestry, put up the “I AM AN AMERICAN” sign on 8 December 1941 but he was forced to sell out and was sent to an internment camp. This image is reproduced today on the 76th anniversary of the proclamation of Executive Order 9066 by St. Franklin Delano of Hyde Park.

Im sure the 18 people that actually were convicted for involvement in Iran-Contra, hold the same opinion.

Remind me. How many of them were convicted of treason?

If you're gonna do it, at least give me a Sidney Poitier reference.

Haters!

I'm gonna keep my mouth shut... my mind went someplace else.

You know the answer to that, Oak

Gentlemen and ladies, take your political discussions to their own threads. We don't want to wade through them when we want to look at pictures. It's late and I'm tired. The next time you can't control yourselves in this fine thread, there will be some vacations handed out.

What a simple, simple world some people live in.

Where you don't have to think about the fact that ISRAEL was the one who actually funneled the weapons to Iran...and why would it ever do that? Because they want Iran better armed? Or maybe because there was upheaval in Iran and even the then-present Iranian government with its significant faults were better than the alternative of having Iran become cozy with the Soviets and gain access to weapons far beyond what was done in the Iran-Contra deal or having a new government take over that was completely unpredictable...and certainly even more dangerous to Israel and the U.S.

You also don't have to think about the fact that Iraq was overwhelming Iran in the war and maybe it was in the best interests of the U.S. for that war to go on and on....and weaken both countries.

No need to think about the fact that there was thought to, at least, be the potential of strengthening a more moderate faction within the Iranian government which wanted better relations with the U.S. and only approving it after assurances were given that this more moderate faction was opposed to terrorism and was actively combating it.

It's fine to question the wisdom of the plan...I've done that...but treason? That conclusion smacks of a position taken because of the identity of the president involved rather than what the reasons for the operation were.

Whoa there Hough...Logic and historical context have no place when the torches and pitch forks are in play.....
