And the problem with Iran did disappear under Reagan.

No, there were a few attacks that were treated like military action, not police actions. The UN was in charge of the mess to boot.

The reality is we were attacked more on Clinton’s watch. For years the Islamo terrorists have been getting bolder and bolder. No attackes here at home except the two that Clinton was responsible for. 1993 WTC and the 2001 WTC (he emboldened PBL to do it).

The Iranians let the hostages go the day Reagan was sworn in. They knew better than to tick him off. Libya learned a valuable lesson as well.

I’m not arguing with you that this is a problem. I am taking issue with Big Dog saying the problem disappeared while Regan was in office.

Yes, Randy, but let’s not forget the Iranian embassy problem that happened on Carter’s watch, and you could even go back to the Munich massacre at the Olympics when you talk about Islamic extremists.
I find it interesting that (especially in this Easter season) the Palestinians all say that the Israelis are taking the Palestinians historical lands, when it was the Muslim invasion of the Holy Lands that brought about the Diaspora of the Jewish people.
Jerusalem was a Jewish city long before it was a muslim city, and Israel was Jewish, then Roman, Persian, Abyssinian, Greek, then Muslim. That poor land has been used like it was an hourly motel room.
Also, the Jewish religion predates Christianity, and really predates Islam, so again, who’s right?
If one reads the historical documents relating to the 1947 creation of the state of Israel, one begins to see the real history of this whole problem.
The Israelis urged the Palestinians to stay, and help them with this new country, but the other Muslim states, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia all promised that they would wipe the Jews off of the earth, and if the Palestinians stayed in refugee camps “just for a few weeks”, the Palestinians could have all the riches that the Jews left behind.
As we now know, the Jews didn’t see it that way, and they were tired of being pushed around. “Never Again” was their rallying cry, and they whipped the Arab states in ’48, ’67, and ’72, if memory serves.
What the Arab states needed was a Rodney King- “Can’t we all just get along?” moment, but arab hate lasts a thousand years, so I do not think we will see the end anytime soon. It is a pity, really, the Arab and Persian world used to be the center of intellectual thought- now it has become an intellectual wasteland.

Right. So there was an Islamofascist problem that reared it’s ugly head while Ronald Regan was in office. In fact, there was also an attack on a US embassy and several other terrorist attacks on US interests by Islamofascists while Regan was in office.

Bunny- we in Texas had a program in the60s and 70s that was called the Bracero program, and temporary visas were issued to these workers so they could follow the crops in a seasonal migration, then go home in the winter. This worked very well until Jimmy Carter, when these illegals got the bright idea to stay. They were encouraged by people in the government, who believed that they could take over the American Southwest by flooding the area with immigrants, who would vote Mexico’s interests. This subject was an editorial in the Mexico City paper, El Excelsior, in 1983,where they claimed they would take back all their “stolen” lands.
The problem is, they cannot even manage what they have, because their government is so corrupt. It is a tragedy, as I have been many times to Mexico,and my family has had a long history with this country and its people.
I have worked carpentry alongside them for over 30 years, and I like them a lot, but in the end, the law must prevail, and we simply MUST have a border policy that is secure and sane. That means a fence and I.D. cards that are foolproof.
Only with the security of knowing that they are legal can they truly begin to contribute to the American Dream.

Yes, Randy, it was Hezbollah, and we even had some warning about that one, but as usual, our intelligence agencies were slow to understand that the paradigm was in the process of change. No more would it be just simple airline hi- jackings, but the process was going to be more complicated, because of the rise of Wahabiism from Saudi Arabia. This sect, which is like David Koresh on steroids, takes the most ignorant amongst them, and assures them paradise- what more could a sexually repressed teen who has nothing to look forward to except sand want? 72 virgins (admittedly, like the comic says, I would want 72 women who really knew what they were doing, but whatever.
These cultists are weaned by tales of the might of the Moslem Empire, which, to be fair, was prodigious indeed, if far in the past. They truly know little of how the world works, and think that they could win out against us.
With a mindset like that, they just keep on coming.
I just wish we could unleash some Comanches, circa 1852 or so- just so the muslims could truly know the depths that cruelty can sink to.

Really? Who was it then that blew up the US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut in 1983?

Yeah Blake, we need a prison stimulus package that involves stimulating the prisoners to do the work.
