Thanks Sampson for your reply. While I agree that many people are not aware of all the facts, there are still many of us who were around then and we remember it well, as well as the events that preceded the takeover and the reasons it occurred.

The problem is that many people around my age (35) don't know this history.  We were too young or not born yet.  

Let us be real for a moment.  I have not heard any person ever speak of the facts that I gave in MSM.  Unfortunately, our media does a poor job informing us.  

That's why I wrote the facts that I did.  I'm hoping this may lead some of the younger members of TYT to do their own research into the Embassy Takeover.  That way they can be better informed as to the history between the two countries.

boh, age shouldn't be an impediment (none / 0)
I'm only 26 and I knew the causes and consequences of the revolution and the role of the West, I don't see why the people that are supposed to bring you the news wouldn't know that. It's not really a secret that we supported the Shah when he was oppressing his population.
