Oh! it's all Cheney's fault because he should have trusted Mullahs' word. Negotiation with the regime means cooperations with the devil himself. The Liberals want us to keep the Mullahs in power and leave the Iranian people in suffering and pain. Where is the logic here? Isn't this what we did for years in the Middle East and created so much resented among the people in the Mideast? We supported the dictators and left the people in their misery? Why do we want to go back to the same strategy?

Today’s Islamic Republic of Iran was created as a direct result of failed Democratic foreign policy under President Carter. Under President Carter’s national security plan, this nation began supporting terrorists (father of the militant Islam, Khomeini) in 1979, in Iran when President Carter withdrew support for the Shah of Iran in support of the Ayatollah. Today Iran is the largest supporter of world-wide Islamic revolutionary terrorism. Libeals couldn't care less about Iran. They didn't care in 1979 and they don't care now...Liberals have no credibility to offer any solution when it comes to ME. Thank heavens Cheney is not a fool.

Here is more on Carter's horrific foreign policy on Iran:
