6. Reality
The reality that no one wants to look at is that Iran is a terrorist state. Made more so by the Bush and Clinton administrations.

Many people foolishly believe that al Queda has nothing to do with Iran because Osama bin Laden is a Sunni and Khomeini was a Shi'ite and yet the reality is that Osama bin Laden looked upon Khomeini as his mentor.

We have a very dangerous world of conflicting ideologies within ideologies. A very dangerous world created by the Bushes and the Clintons and their duplicity.

I do not believe Jimmy Carter has ever discussed it but the reality is that the "protests" against the Shah were orchestrated by our CIA and the CIA, not the Iranian people, wanted the Shah deposed. And the best evidence of that is to be found in Iran-Contra which Bill Clinton decided did not warrant further hearings or investigation.

And of course Halliburton has continued doing business all these years with Iran. Through a "foreign" subsidiary. Which Bill Clinton of course knew and said nothing about. Trading with the enemy as it was once called is not something new. Prescott Bush did it with the Nazis.

Khomeini returned to Tehran and planted a garden of evil. One of the roots extended into Afghanistan and grew into al Queda.

And al Queda has served the Bushes well. And apparently has served the Clintons well. And will continue to serve them well.

The roots of Khomeini's garden never were able to reach into Iraq - Saddam Hussein always cut the roots before the spread and produced new gardens. And we hanged him for it.

People in this country need to finally wake up to reality.
