Don’t reward rogue behavior: Opposing view

Capitulation will likely encourage Tehran or its terrorist proxies to take more Americans hostage.

While we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief that the nightmare for five Americans is over and they are now out of Iranian custody, the White House’s decision to yield to the demands of a state sponsor of terrorism is cause for deep concern on several fronts.

For one, we’ve released seven convicted Iranian sanctions busters and financial criminals, and expunged international arrest warrants against an additional 14, in exchange for innocent Americans who should have never been incarcerated.President Obama and others who claim this was a diplomatic victory are ignoring that our citizens were held hostage on bogus charges, and that calling this a prisoner swap draws a dangerous equivalency.

Do Americans ever consider the possibility that the US Government has lied to the public about Iran?

Isn't it possible, that the US Government is the problem and not Iran?

Just a thought.

Might want to educate yourself about Mosadeq, the Shah, BP Oil, so on.

Politicians and MSM want to label Iran an enemy and push and push for war because its the agenda of their Saudi and Israeli backers.
1. Our troops were where they shouldn't have been and were treated just fine. We would do the same on our boarder.
2. We assassinated their scientists and blew up their labs.
3. We toppled their next door neighbor for regime change then rolled out leaving a power vacume and huge weapons cache.
The fact that they are still willing to try to work with US is what's amazing.
