While I feel remorse for those people who died in the earthquake and I
offer prayers for them and I do not revel in their misery, I do no not
go along with postings that "just a few fanatics" are responsible for
the hostages and the stance taken by the Iranian Govt. towards the U.S.

This is akin to the same 'excuses' used by the German people after WWII.
The people of Iran can throw off their yoke of world disgust and would
earn the respect of the U.S. and its allies again.

Not to sound like a religious zealot . . .what gopes around, comes around.

This is not racist, it it patriotic. My brother helped in the ill-fated
to rescue the last load of hostages.

I say send medical help and food, just as we did with our enemies after
WWII, but no other aid.
