I often fear that the vast ignorance of Americans and others around the world concerning the history of Islam condemns them to be pawns in the hands of the Iranians and other Muslim leaders who reflect why Islam came to be and how it has conducted itself since the death of its founder...

02 April 2007 - Never has the threat of a wider regional war been greater than it is this morning in the Middle East, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is the ganglion of this threat. In fact, such a war has long been the devout interest of the Islamofascist regime of Tehran since its consolidation of supreme power over 27 years ago.
Engaging the ‘Wayback’ Machine
Any assessment of the current situation with respect to the Islamic Republic requires an unfiltered historical review. To that end the ‘wayback’ machine has been engaged. The list of the Islamic Republic’s acts of war against the United States of America is as follows:
• November 4, 1979: Seizure and Occupation of the US Embassy in Tehran.
• November 4, 1979: Detention and Hostage Holding of Embassy Staff, US Military Personnel and other US citizens for 444 days.
• April 18, 1983: Bombing of the US Embassy, Beirut, Lebanon, 17 dead including 8 CIA employees, several US military servicemen and an American journalist.
• September 20, 1984: Bombing of the US Embassy, Beirut, Lebanon, killing 24 including two US soldiers.
• October 23, 1983: Destruction of US Marine Barracks, Beirut. Murder of 241 US Marines, Sailors and Army personnel.
• June 3, 1985: Capture, torture and murder of Beirut CIA Chief of Station, William Francis Buckley, a/k/a US Army (Ret.) LTC William Francis Buckley former Green Beret.
• June 15, 1985: The beating, torture and cold-blooded murder of US Navy diver, Petty Officer 2nd Class Robert Stetham during the hijacking of TWA Flight 847. [Click "read more" above to continue reading]
