Between Jimmy Carter dropping everything to babysit the crisis, and everyone's yellow ribbons, and flags, and bumper stickers, etc, the terrorists rapidly realized that they had America by the b******s. Therefore, I recommend that people not participate in public demonstrations. They will encourage the Terrorists, and probably the hostages won't hear about it until after their release. Please, don't encourage terrorists! Show your solidarity in private!! Dave Emery Siemens Research ...!princeton!siemens!emery
