Not everyone on this list was even alive when much of
this happened,
and
others of us were busy dealing with other very important things going
on in
The Real World then, so this is a very interesting story for many.
Anyone willing to do business with the terrorists in Iran knew why
they
were getting the big bucks to do it. It's like being surprised when
you
get eaten while swimming with Great White sharks - it's in their
nature. A
regime that repeatedly violates sovereign foreign territory in the
form of
embassies and consulates should have been cut off from the rest of
the world on Day One until they dried up and blew away. They laugh
when
others treat them with civility and grant them unearned respect as a
legitimate government.

Remember the Monroe doctrine ?
Including the overthrow of the monarchy of Hawaii (or Texas for that
matter) so whom is/was the bigger shark ?
With regards to the Iranian money:
the US previously accepted the arbitration.
Would the US prefer to not use arbitration at all ? Then it would be a
simple matter of who is the strongest.
