‘ARGO’ … a Hollywood con

Iran 1979: then President Jimmy Carter faced the worst crisis of his presidency, when Iran went all blooey over the west's refusal to return their longtime dictator, the Shah of Iran.

When we refused to send him back, the Iranian Tea Party's religious leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, sent his religious mobs to storm the U.S. Embassy. Fifty-two of them were taken hostage and imprisoned for 444 days and released just as Ronald Reagan was taking office.
