Iran 30 Years On

This is the 30th anniversary of the Iran Hostage Crisis which began on November 4, 1979 and lasted 444 days until it ended on January 20, 1981. Islamist militants took over the American Embassy in Tehran and took 52 hostages (13 women and blacks were released shortly after the stand-off became.)
Carter was President at the time and he was worthless in helping the hostages (even though nowadays he thinks he did so much and is constantly opening his mouth and causing trouble.) It wasn't until Reagan became President that the hostages were released.
We should never forget what Iran and the Islamists did or how useless Carter truly was throughout it all.
