OK, lets be fair about this. While I agree with the rest of the article it seems to me that Iran released the hostages not to Ronnie, but to someone who was NOT Jimmy Carter. I had the distinct impression that if it hadn't been an election year, or if Carter had been re-elected, they would have been released a month or 2 sooner. Iran wasn't afraid of Reagan, they wanted to make Carter look bad. I think most people recognized this for what it was and instead of thinking less of Carter over this they thought less of the ayatollah (I know, it's spelled wrong, but it's not in my spelling guide).
