Alas, the world is not black and white. What happened this week? 1) A Kuwaiti jet was hijacked to Iran 2) Passengers on board were terrorized. 3) Two Americans on board were murdered. 4) The big-talk fast-shooting Reagan regime sat by totally impotent. 5) Brave men of the rather nasty Khomeni regime risked their own lives by storming the plane and freeing the hostages. I'm sorry. It doesn't fit the Reaganite views of the world. Cowboy Reagan who got elected by portraying an image of an impotent Jimmy Carter was even more impotent. The rotten Khomeni regime saved the lives of Americans and others. The world is not so black and white. Sorry. Maybe it's time to re-think the myths. -Andy Berman "Facts are stubborn things"
