"It was good that we sold
the arms to free the
hostages and it was good
that we gave the money to
the Contras to overthrew
the Communist government.
But then I don't think we
should have dealt dith Iran
because they held cur
hostages."

"I think it was good we
sold the arms to Iran to
free the hostages
although I find it hard to
believe that the sole
reason to do that was for
the release of the
hostages. I think that
there was something else
behind it. If there wasn't
anything else behind it,
then that is a form of
terrorism and I don't
believe in terrorism. I
agree with supporting the
Contras and we should have
just given them the weapons
instead of dealing with
Iran."

"I agree with the reasons
for doing it but not the
ireans . It was wrong to do
it secretly. But in order
to fight Ccmmunisu, you
have to get dirty. Same
people believe in the
purity of the American way.
To then I say, "Wake up.
It's a cold, cruel world
and this is how it works.

"It looks bad that we
arms to Iran but its
that we're aiding
Contras to help overthrow
